Description |
White cotton handkerchief with tulle edging. The solid squarish ground is separated visually from an outer solid margin of white, by means of a decorative drawnwork (needle-made) border. The corners of this drawnwork border are needle-filled with a quatrefoil motif. There is another openwork border just before the edging as well. The border is a ruffled fine net. |
Provenance |
The handkerchief was used by a female member of the John and Elizabeth McLean family of Owen Sound, Ontario. Elizabeth McLean died in 1921. It may have belonged to her daughter, Mary A. McLean (b. 1878)?, or Grace McLean (b. 1864-d. 1931)? |
