<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 3920877, member: 8267"]It might be helpful in dating if you can determine the fibers used in his clothing. I notice there is much more deterioration on the front than the back, presumably from light damage (as if he has been displayed for a long period of time, with the back protected), and that the deterioration seems to preferentially affect the fibers in one direction of the weave. Perhaps an unusual combination of fibers would suggest a date.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=13464]@Northern Lights Lodge[/USER] might have some insights based on his lace cuffs as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
