Oh the strange requests on the old "L-List"!  I am working on an exhibition on hygiene in the 18th Century and I am having difficulty finding some information on the construction of diapers or baby napkins. 

 

My questions are:

 

  1. Does anybody have one in their collections so that I can learn a little something about size and construction? 
  2. Anybody have a source for diapered cotton or linen so that we can create some reproduction diapers for our exhibit?

 

Thanks!
