For Day 27 of the @dames_a_la_mode #georgianjanuary with the theme of #housesndhome - I love that this features a grandfather and grandson (who is probably the older man's heir). Clearly it's all about the splendid collection of paintings on the bright blue walls, even if the perspective of the furnishings is a little strange in some places.

For Day 12 of the @dames_a_la_mode #GeorgianJanuary challenge with the theme of #lightblue - Gentlemen can wear light blue, too - especially a billowing light blue silk damask wrapping gown for chillin'.

And because #fashion is #political (especially in the #georgian era!) another bonus entry for today's #GeorgianJanuary theme. "Ancient and Modern Pyramids" by James Bretherton, 1787.
