*Infant's clothes. A collection of handmade late Victorian garments belonging to Celandine Kennington, comprising: a hand-stitched wide-collared cream cape of fine rib cotton lined with silk, collar, front of cape, and lower hem trimmed with a triple layer of lace, wide satin ribbon ties at neck, collar with a few tiny holes and some light discolouration, length 52cm (20.5ins); a long cape similar, some staining and holes, length 96.5cm (38ins); a christening gown of net lace over satin, length 94cm (37ins); two whitework babies' bonnets; and a pale blue ribbon sash Provenance: Celandine Kennington (1886-1975) and thence by descent. Celandine was the wife of Eric Kennington, illustrator of T.E. Lawrence's 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom'. Eric and his wife had a close relationship with Lawrence. Indeed, Celandine, during times of depression, had leaned on Lawrence emotionally and felt herself greatly helped by him, so much so that she said he had saved her life. When Richard Aldington's scandalous book about Lawrence was published in 1955, the Kenningtons were staunch in support of their friend. Celandine even contributed an article to the journal 'Housewife' in which she counteracted what she called "Aldington's drab dirt", and particularly the accusation that Lawrence hated women. (6)
