Fabric on paper; ink
1800s
This piece of paper has two scraps of black fabric pinned to it. One is described as a remnant of Mr John Wesley's preaching gown, the other as a remnant of the gown belonging to his brother Charles. It is likely the pieces - Wesleyana collectables - were assembled together in the 1800s, when Wesley family mementoes were highly sought after. The scraps have a good provenance, so it is likely they were indeed taken from gowns belonging to the Wesley brothers.
