| Wool Stockings with Silk Adornments, 1887. In the Met. |
Got onto another research project, and encountered these gorgeous silk-embroidered wool stockings from Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, 1887. In addition to the crowned VR ("Victoria Regina") monogram embroidered in silk, the stockings have royal orbs and the United Kingdom's horticultural symbols: Scottish thistles, Irish shamrocks, and English roses. No Welsh leeks, though.
