DOI: 10.1558/equinox.21637

Blurb:

In this chapter, the author is interested in exploring the relationship between both sides in the colonizing relationships, examining connections between originating country and colonized place through the objects people used to clothe and adorn themselves. She compares finds from domestic sites in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and London, England and concludes that residents of the former continued to follow British fashions and trends into the late eighteenth century.
