[HNW] my Oxburgh materials (long) ( sorry!)

Thank you so much!  I just might have to get slides from the V&A of  
the hangings.  Swain only has B/W photos of them.

Thanks for that tip.  I just got the charter issue and the first 4  
issues from eBay.

I'm going to see if I can get this one!

Thanks again!
