An Elizabethan Household
A Baleen Worker
Sulgrave Manor (2004)
We are fortunate to have a research license to work baleen for use in whalebone stiffening for garments.
Our baleen is provided by the Natural History Museum from after autopsiesthat have been performed on beached whales that died before they were rescued.
Andy is preparing the fire to scour the baleen prior to cutting it into strips.Photographer: Phillip Cohan
