Notelet, sketch 'The Otterton Bonnet' by Dorothy Ormerod
Price: £2.00
Stock: 40 available
A lovely A5 notelet (card and envelope) depicting a watercolour and pencil sketch of 'The Otterton Bonnet' (Late-18C) in the costume collection by Friend of Fairlynch Dorothy Ormerod.
During the Napoleonic Wars, when England was expecting to be invaded, the women of many coastal towns were requested to wear the red bonnet and march along the cliff tops with a broomstick so that "If French ships should sail over the horizon it would appear as if our red-coated soldiers were on the lookout".
