Click on the link below for an excellent web-based resource developed by the National Museum of Australia to share information about many aspects of the complex acquisition of a rich collection recording the life and times of an early Australian family and their merino sheep property at Springfield in New South Wales. There are some exceptionally fine examples of 19th century dress and accessories included in the collection, many with very informative essays.
Delve in and enjoy!
