[HNW] pictures of early-17th c. embroidered boxes

[Cassandra L. McCraw]

Do you mean the caskets? If so, you can finds pictures in "Twix Art and Nature." There is a nice picture of one on the cover...

Can anyone please point me to a book(s) that have good pictures of these boxes, or is there perhaps someone on the list who has some very good photographs?  I am giving a program for a guild in PA that will basicailly be called "Silk - Renaissance Eye Candy" for which I want some drop-dead gorgeous slides to share.  Strangely, my own library hasn't coughed up any good pictures, so I hope someone on the list will be able to help.

Thanks so much.  If you have photos you'd be willing to share so I can make slides, I'll trade you one of the cats for the loan of them.
