Hi bookaddictuk
Thanks for saying so. It’s one of several embroidered silk postcards (although it would also make a lovely insert for a box lid) which belonged to my grandmother. They are truly very poignant reminders of the Great War. They definitely fired my imagination.
PS. Glad I just found your blog. I love London too! Your bookish slide show made me smile, especially the list of reasons for admission to a 19c US mental asylum. Guess I’d have been an inmate then, and not just for ‘novel reading’…

That silk box is incredibly evocative, especially with the photo.
