FRED Talks: "The Invention of Children's Clothing," January 9, 2011

Last month I had the pleasure of giving a lecture on the invention of children's clothing at FRED Talks, a series of presentations based on the TED model which is run out of the cooperative at 3B Brooklyn.

Through the course of my talk, I discussed the invention of childhood and the impact of Enlightenment thinkers on children's clothing using the paintings of 18th century artists like Lawrence, Gainsborough, Hogarth, and Reynolds as illustrative points.
