Embroidered World War I Remembrance Card, 1919

File — Box: 4251.002, Folder: 16

Scope and Contents

The collection contains one card with a piece of silk mounted in the window of two pieces of cardboard. The card is tied with a purple ribbon and "Remembrance" is stamped in gold below the embroidered "1919 Souvenir de France." The numbers "1919" are embroidered with the flags and colors of the Allied Powers. While most World War I Silks (embroidered postcards) had a solid cardboard back for address and postage, this card is not meant to be mailed as a postcard since the silk is exposed on both sides.
