English hoods on the web
There are not very many pictures of English hoods around, but I have found some of the most famous on the web.
Lara E Eakins has a site on Tudor England in general, concentrating particularly on the royalty. Here you can find the best-known court portraits of Elizabeth of York (Henry VII's queen) Katharine of Aragon and Jane Seymour.
A really nice page, which has no indication of who made it, is "HanScan", a set of the Windsor Drawings of Hans Holbein. Click on the title page to get through to the pictures. You have to go through them in order, but the English hoods are no.II, Elizabeth Dancy (Thomas More's second daughter), no X, Lady Elisabeth Vaux, and no. VIII, Lady Margaret Eliot.
Finally, I found a copy of Holbein's portrait of Thomas More's family on a site by Dr Grant Williams, at Nipissing University, Ontario, for his course on Studies in Early Modern Literature.
