Very fine quality white cotton (MID) lawn handkerchief with complex self stripe borders. In each corner is a swivel woven bird-in-flowering-branch pattern, made in 6 lengthwise sections, reversed in each corner. Very fine work. Very fine hem on 3 sides; the selvage has a coarse thread within a narrow edge intended to be turned under—but it was not. Along one border the owner’s name is embroidered in cursive, in heavy satin stitch: Sarah Lantz, with a little tulip in between, and a tiny cartwheel at either end. 18.5” x 17.5”
