Another wonderful handkerchief from the coffers of Ebay -- this one, though, is still available.
Why are these crisp, graphic pieces suddenly appearing for sale? Handkerchiefs, by the way, are a great way to study textiles from the period they come from. The colors, the motifs, even the scale of the figures is helpful. This one, by the way, 'says' it's c.1940.
And they're very reasonably priced, compared to a full quilt. They store and display easily, too, compared to other textiles. I have had a soft spot for them, ever since I began researching for my first book, Hanky Panky.
This has been out of print for ages --
but we found a few vintage copies!
