Today in labor history, July 25, 1907:  Trotskyist and labor union leader Farrell Dobbs is born.  Dobbs was one of the principal leaders – along with the Dunne brothers and Carl Skoglund – of the Minneapolis Teamsters strike of 1934 and authored four books on the strike and the subsequent efforts that organized 250,000 truckers in the Midwest.  Dobbs went on to lead the Socialist Workers Party and serve as editor of its publication, The Militant.  (Photo:  Dobbs with Trotsky in Mexico.)

My friend, my friend! I love stories about him.

This court dress, worn at formal occasions at the Spanish Court, conveys a sense of ceremony and solemn nobility. The dazzling gold embroidery against the red silk background of the long train is the result of incorporating gold leaf pieces in combination with gold thread to further enhance the golden glow of the fabric.
The style of women’s court wear in Western Europe had remained essentially the same since the coronation of Napoleon in 1804. Women wore decorations and jewelry reflecting one’s status, and the higher one’s status, the longer the train that was attached to the shoulder, and later, to the waist of the dress.

Wowed.
