Comments: |
This short favour does not have a makers name woven on the reverse. The image however is identical to the STEVENS portrait of Harrison [recorded as so316].
Below is an additional image, showing this favour still attached to the stiff backing paper used to support the silk whilst in the post. As can be seen, the wording is
" SOUVENIR
OF DISCOVERY OF AMERICA " From early research by The Stevengraph Collectors Association, it is believed that this wording related to J.J. MANNION. For more detail see sb1862 - Souvenir of the / (globe with words) World's Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893. It is also believed however that MANNION was an agent of STEVENS.
