A young Black boy dressed in an expensive livery holds the train of a wealthy woman's dress in an colourful embroidered panel in the Burrell Collection. But who was he and what was he doing there? Find out more about enslaved pages in the 1600s and 1700s with Rebecca Quinton, Curator of European dress and textiles in this short gallery talk.
