LARGE FRAMED ANTIQUE PICTORIAL TEXTILE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WITH INK INSCRIPTIONS, CIRCA 1907 - 09

Scarce, and fabulous antique pictorial textile, "Forget Me Not," the heavy damask-like fabric printed in color with a beautiful, tightly corseted young woman holding a heart with a printed verse, surrounded by envelopes "addressed" by hand, circa 1907–09, sight size 21-1/2" x 22", beautifully custom framed with a raw silk mat under glass, the overall dimensions 29-1/4" x 30-1/4".

A very striking and impressive textile evidently intended as a "sentimental" souvenir: all but two of the blank letters are inscribed in ink by a friend or relative of the original owner, including individuals in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, and South Dakota; a few are dated 1907 or 1909.

Notes: In very fine, attractive condition (not examined outside frame)
