That's awesome. I always have to grit my teeth at the "Charles Dickens Christmas" well-scrubbed, modern-dentistried reanactors one sees. |

Wow. Truly, a new (to me, at least) dimension to reenactment. TVAG |

Small coincidence. Just heard of these folks last night from some costume-y friends and here's Tango's link. |

With little or no access to running water, let alone hot water, large numbers of people must have been a tad grimy. I read ‘Smith', by Leon Garfield when I were a lad and one scene stayed with me for ever. When Smith has to undress for his first ever bath he peeled his clothes off like onion layers, they having fused to his body as new clothes were put on over old rather than replaced. Move forward to WW2 and there was an account of a woman finding her evacuee charges from Liverpool unwilling to undress for baths because their mum had ‘wrapped them up for the winter'. She found they were insulated by newspaper which had to last until spring. I think I'm rather fortunate… |
