CALENDARS
Various woven calendars were made in different years - many mounted on postcards from the early 1900s onwards, others with Christmas or New Year greetings printed on the reverse side.

Several silks were incorporated in the covers or mounts of calendars (the calendar part being printed on paper in the normal manner) and these cannot be classed as woven calendars. Nevertheless, the finest post-war Grant silk pictures have been especially woven to enhance these standard calendars.

Other comments:
Godden does not records this silk as a calendar.

On the calendar above, the central flap containing the silk, lifts up to reveal the 1923 calendar, together with an amusing motto.

It is acknowledged that the wording of this silk is very offensive; however, as an historical record of Grant's woven silks, it is right to include it here, since at the time it was made, such wording was acceptable.
