Pocket
Object type: pocket
Date: 1784 – 1784
Materials: cotton, wool
Culture: american
Subjects: roses

In the 18th century, a woman's pocket was a separate accessory item, not a feature built into any one particular skirt. Women carried their personal necessities in these pockets which were tied around the waist, including items like keys, thimbles, handkerchiefs, spectacles and coins. The vibrant and exuberant design of this example probably was worked by an untrained embroiderer at home who worked the design freehand. The motifs of roses, tulips and carnations are similar to those in samplers worked in Chester County, Pennsylvania in the fourth quarter of the 18th century. The gradation and shading of the greens and the general black outlining of the stems and central motif seem to be derived from English crewelwork. While the name of the maker is now lost, she clearly took some effort to fully decorated this pocket, filling every space with color and pattern.

Bowl
Object type: vessel
Date: 100 – 68
Materials: glass
Techniques: appliqué, casting, mosaic glass
Culture: roman
Location: italy
Subjects: bowl

This bowl contains yellow threads wound around colorless canes of glass that were then fused together. The spiral pattern in the body of bowls of this kind has given them the name network mosaic bowls. Most known examples were recovered in 1900 from a shipwreck that probably occurred around 80 B.C. off the southwest coast of Greece near Antikythera. The discovery of similar examples in Syria, Crete, Greece, and southern Italy has led to the theory that these distinctive bowls were made in the eastern Mediterranean.

Shirt
Object type: shirt
Date: 1840 – 1870
Materials: cotton, linen

This object was collected by Stewart Culin (1858-1929) during a collection expedition in 1921. Culin was the Brooklyn Museum's first Curator of Ethnology, serving from 1903 to 1929. Possessing an insatiable curiosity and appetite for collecting objects of all kinds, Culin conducted over twenty worldwide collecting expeditions between 1901 and 1928. The trips covered American Indian territories, New England, Asia, India, Great Britain, and all of Eastern and Western Europe. The seven expeditions between 1917 and 1928 were specifically focused on collecting regional textiles and costumes from Eastern and Western Europe and, to a lesser extent, New England. Culin's goals for these trips were not just to expand the Museum's holdings, but also to preserve their cultural contexts. He did so through amassing photographs, notebooks, and ephemera which documented the social, commercial, and cultural circumstances surrounding their acquisition. His collecting philosophy embraced both rare and high-quality pieces as well as those which represented daily life or were of particular social or historical interest.

The Grand Canal, Venice, Looking Southeast, with the Campo della Carità to the Right
Object type: painting
Date: 1730 – 1739
Materials: canvas, oil
Artist: canaletto
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1697 – 1768
Subjects: towers,canals,boats,venice

Canaletto made many drawings on‑site, which he used to assemble views like this one in the studio. Although the bell tower has since fallen, its adjacent church and former convent now house the Galleria dell’Accademia, and this view is approximately the same as that seen from today’s Accademia Bridge. The regularized means of depicting the choppy canal water became a signature of Canaletto in the 1730s. This canvas is from a series of twenty view paintings that Canaletto probably painted for Joseph Smith (ca. 1674–1770), British consul in Venice from 1744 to 1760. These finely painted views of Venice come from a group of twenty identically sized works probably commissioned by Joseph Smith, the British consul in Venice from 1744 to 1760. Canaletto and his clients, particularly those from England, often thought of his works in series. This allowed them to assemble records of Venice’s sites, from its most famous squares to more obscure churches and palaces. Historians of architecture and urbanism can precisely identify the location of each composition (the Museum’s website entries for these works enumerate each in detail), but Canaletto often took strategic liberties in order to show the full facade of a given building or the best angle of view down a canal.
