Object/Artifact

Pair of reproduction white kid gloves, comparatively thick leather. Hand stitched turned-in seams, plied cotton or linen thread. Hole-punched scalloped cuffs. Long oval thumb hole with no gusset. Printed in turquoise with tiny Jacques Callot (17th century printmaker) figures. Inside cuff bears hand inked size 6 3/4, and stamped label that is indistinguishable. Another bit says: Gant de Luke Fait a la main. Another stamped label in sans serif letters: DIRECTOIRE 1785-1788. Compared to gloves c1800 and c1850, these are coarse.
