| These gentlemen arrived as I was leaving. See Lisa's multiple photos of these gorgeous
military costumes. According to Lisa, these two men are called Christian and Heath. This sort of
costuming explains why in Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Kitty and Lydia have eyes only
for soldiers. Women's pelisses imitated this elegant braiding, as did
men's coats for non-military gentlemen, such as the one worn by the Count
de Turenne in 1816. | This gentleman is in
another uniform with the most glorious huge, black fur hat with black tassels. Unfortunately, this
photo does not do the costume justice. |
