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.

GIRL IN BATHING COSTUME
With swimming pool in the background. Silk incorporated in a Grant Company calendar, c. 1939.

Other comments:
Grant calendars were made in various ways, and this one has a mounted silk forming a flap hinged on the top front which, when lifted, revealed the calendar behind.

It is possible that Grant issued this as an ordinary picture, not a calendar at all.
