It is unfortunately not known what is woven on the reverse of this bookmark. There is however recorded a second " GFS " bookmark, and that version is still attached to the stiff backing paper, which has the STEVENS logo printed at the top. There is however some doubt as to whether this second bookmark as actually made by Stevens, and that doubt also applies to the silk above.
Note: " GFS " are the initials for " GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY ". According to their web site {GirlsFriendlySociety.org.uk), The Girls Friendly Society was officially established in England on 1st January 1875 by Mary Elizabeth Townsend, an Irish clergyman's daughter married to the wealthy Frederick Townsend. |
