Best thing ever from the V&A stores today: on the front of Margret Mason’s 1660 sampler are clothed “boxer” figures (little men holding gifts, acorns here). Turn the sampler over and the men look much the same but are completely naked!

Last year I identified a third circa 1650-75 embroidered cabinet made at the Perwich school, one of 17th-century Hackney's major girls' schools. This example is owned by Doncaster Heritage and the others are in LACMA & the Fitzwilliam. My article about the find is in this issue of Hackney History!
