For this project, I recreated a costume from the pantomime Dick Whittington from 1892. The designer of this costume is Wilhelm. The watercolour illustration of this design is found in the archives of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This costume is a romantic representation of a ancient Greek shepherd.
