Oh how I wish this exhibition would tour more! This show matches famous Sargent works with the actual fashions depicted. What a resource for scholars/fans of art and textiles! The show debuted in Boston and is at the Tate in London now. The Exhibition catalog is at the SNB store and on the website. There are less than 10 copies in stock as of 4.14.24.
