I'm really interested in the period spanning the 16th and 17th centuries. Here's a picture that I like from 1567 - William Brooke, 10th Lord of Cobham and his Family.
Kick´shaws` n. 1. Something fantastical; any trifling, trumpery thing; a toy. Art thou good at these kickshawses! - Shak. 2. A fancy dish; a tidbit; a delicacy. Some pigeons, . . . a joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws. - Shak. Cressy was lost by kickshaws and soup-maigre. - Fenton.
