Join art historian Jeff Mishur for a slide show and discussion of costumes used in the popular PBS series -some original to the period and others newly constructed to imitate vintage dress.
Most importantly, Mishur places each costume into a historic context and relates each to the narrative of the series. Jeff Mishur is the owner of Art Excursions, a business providing lectures, private guiding, small group tours and travel consulting.
