摘要
本文提供了一个案例研究两家伦敦公司活跃在1900年之前的妇女成衣生产和销售,H. J. Nicoll和Alfred Stedall。本文使用的广告图片来源于国家档案馆文具公司版权局记录的注册广告图片;公司档案(也在国家档案馆);以及来自英国报纸档案馆的报纸广告。这三份档案让我可以评估广告形象的用途,并将其与公司的发展联系起来,反思三种来源之间的差距和遗漏。这项研究发现了一个全国性的女性成衣连锁店,这是一个意想不到的发展,可能需要重新思考当前的历史。它还揭示了伦敦服装作坊的地点和做法,这些作坊已被证明是难以研究的。
Women’s Ready-to-Wear Multiple Retailers 1860–1914: H. J. Nicoll and Alfred Stedall
This paper offers a case study of two London firms active in the production and distribution of women’s ready-to-wear clothing before 1900, H. J. Nicoll and Alfred Stedall. The sources used are registered advertising images from the Records of the Copyright Office, Stationers’ Company at The National Archives; Companies House records (also at The National Archives); and newspaper advertisements sourced from the British Newspaper Archive. These three archives have allowed me to evaluate the uses made of advertising images, and to relate this to the companies’ development, reflecting on the gaps and omissions between the three sources. This research has uncovered a nationwide chain of women’s ready-to-wear retailers, an unexpected development that may require some rethinking of current historiography. It also throws light on the locations and practices of London-based clothing workshops, which have proven resistant to study.
期刊介绍:
Textile History is an internationally recognised, peer reviewed journal and one of the leading publications in its field. It is viewed as an important outlet for current research. Published in the spring and autumn of each year, its remit has always been to facilitate the publication of high-quality research and discussion in all aspects of scholarship arising from the history of textiles and dress. Since its foundation the scope of the journal has been substantially expanded to include articles dealing with aspects of the cultural and social history of apparel and textiles, as well as issues arising from the exhibition, preservation and interpretation of historic textiles or clothing.
