  Subject: 18th Century diapers


  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!
