Well known to me for a few years is the costume specialist, Hope Greenberg. Hope gave an excellent talk to our JASNA Vermont group a couple years ago; and last night enthralled our group of Emma-readers with late-18th and early-19th century dress for men and women.
Hope was in a lovely maroon gown last night; and “dressed” for breakfast today too!
Don’t you wish you were here?
(Where’s “here”? The Governor’s House in Hyde Park!)
Emma Smith and Mary Gosling are the two teens in question. Mary was born 2 February 1800 and Emma 27 September 1801. Sisters-of-the-heart, they became sisters-in-law in 1826.
