Donated by daughter of Alan Richardson, sawmiller at Tabbara. Helped build and held ticket for paddle steamer "Curlip".Most people don’t use handkerchiefs anymore, either for personal hygiene or as a fashion statement, but at one time they were prized possessions.Prior to making their move to the breast pockets of men’s suits and sport coats, handkerchiefs were kept in pants pockets.When two-piece suits came into fashion during the 19th century, no “gentleman” was seen without one. This item reflects that custom.Man's cream coloured silk handkerchief with blue and red stripes around border.handkerchief costume-male silk richardson-alan -

Textile, Handkerchief printed lady, C 1910
Hankerchiefs have been used for centuries as a piece of cloth deemed useful for personal hygiene. They are usually kept in one's pocket but at times through history have been fluttered to attract attention or send a message. In harder times they proved to be a cheap item often used to add interest to an outfit. This item is one of five hankerchiefs which were brought back from France after WW1 by great uncles of Gloria Redman and have been passed down through her grandmother and mother.This item has significance as an item linked to a local family and World War 1 and as such has social, and historical significance. It is well provenanced and can be used to provide interest to the relating of a fairly common story whereby many soldiers brought or sent back small items such as hankerchiefs to their loved ones at home.White linen painted with an image of a lady in red crinoline dress with black lined pattern around bottom of dress.
