Candice's Events Calendar

In this presentation, Candice will explore what a woman of the Regency, like Jane Austen, would have read to keep abreast of social and political news, fashion, literature, and theatre. The most popular magazines of the day — including the Lady’s Magazine, Ackermann’s Repository of Arts, La Belle Assemblée, the Lady’s Monthly Museum, the Gallery of Fashion, Le Beau Monde and the British Lady’s Magazine — will be discussed in terms of packaging, circulation numbers, content (including prints), editorial direction, and more.

This is a free event for JASNA members. Check back the Monday before the event for a link to join.

Using fashion prints from her collection, Candice will provide an overview of the types of clothing worn during the time of Jane Austen. She will explore fashions for various occasions or activities, including day wear and evening wear. Terms used during the period — such as undress, half dress and full dress — will be explained and illustrated with prints. Popular types of outerwear will also be showcased, including pelisses, spencers, and mantles.

This event is free and open to the public. In order to give the Library an idea of head count, please register here.

Candice will use fans from her collection to discuss this particular type of fan popular during the Regency period. (Brisé fans have no folded leaf of silk or paper, but consist entirely of pierced sticks.) She will also give historical context to the style and size of the fans, as well as the materials used to make them.

Candice will also give tips on how to communicate secret messages using the Language of Fans.
