I thought I replied to mondoman, not to you.
You seem to have a good handle on things.
Maybe my eyes are not working well tonight (finals week...)
I'm particularly interested in clothes,food,daily life, of other times,so that's why I know about this kind of thing.Due to T.V. and movies,most people tend to have a rather confused,at best,idea of what it was REALLY like to live in other eras.
Good luck with your finals!
