The venerable city of Kingston is celebrated as one of the founding settlements of Ontario. Briefly the capital of the United Canadas, it boasts a significant architectural heritage. Beyond the Silhouette provides an in-depth study of 20 women's garments dating from around 1815 to the 1930s, and introduces a remarkable but little-know collection to the public for the first time.
