HEY GUNS posted:You can also see what it looked like when someone wore a scarf and one of those big fancy collars at the same time... Is the point of those frilly collars just to make your head look like a flower? Or is it a sort-of permiscarf for the a world without central heating? If people had to spend more time outside in the winter, would the cape come back? Also the recent Deus Ex games took art direction cues from early modern:   Admittedly this is a brown suit with texture but I love that shirt:

HEY GUNS posted:Germans, if someone from the Werrathal, near Eschwege, says they come from "Holzkirchenhausen," can you find that on a map? The one in Helmstadt? https://www.google.dk/maps/place/Ho...757!4d9.6675992

Tias posted:The one in Helmstadt? By doing this I can track how this company moved through the landscape, which is the thin end of the wedge for analyzing their interactions with the natural world. For instance, this company was most recently quartered in the town of Bad Sooden-Allendorf, but their soldiers are spread out as far as a camp outside the walls of Bielefeld, 96 miles to the northwest. They began moving out several months before these letters were written but many of them are still there. Therefore we can say that any kind of military movement except direct preparations for battle involve sprawling around the landscape from start to destination, like a slime mold--or like velcro with hooks, and each hook is a human being. The officer this company belongs to is attempting to maintain some level of administrative control over this entire distance--from Allendorf. Messengers shuttle over this expanse--probably constantly, there are mentions in these letters of people getting mad their letters arrived late, which is only a thing you do if you expect they will arrive on time. There are works about military procurement/supply/travel in the seventeenth century (it's all the same issue in this period), but I am unaware of any which attempt to analyze it at the company level, which for cavalry means just thirty fighting men.

would it have been weird for grown men to walk around without hose or shoes in the 17th century? I feel like it would have been weird. I guess if you're running through Irish bogs you'd probably lose normal shoes

Squalid posted:would it have been weird for grown men to walk around without hose or shoes in the 17th century? I feel like it would have been weird. Technically it's late 16th c. I'm struggling to remember the exact source, but I've got a vague memory of some aristos in the 17th century going shooting in bare feet, presumably because they were in water or something. But yeah, having your portrait painted in bare feet was weird, and I think pretty racy. Mens legs were very sexualised.
