Souvenir in Commemoration of The Death of Lord Nelson, at the Battle of Trafalgar, October 21st, 1805. Printed by Matthews Printing house 1905. A beautiful design depicting the Nelson Monument and two Union Jack flags with a gold leaf border. Crêpe handkerchiefs like this were imported from Japan in the late 19th century, already printed with a floral or figurative border. British printers then used them for a variety of souvenirs, as well as theatre programmes, and the firm who printed this specialised in souvenir handkerchief printing.
