Description: A scarce late Victorian 1890’s / Boer War era printed military souvenir handkerchief. Showing various scenes of army life, medals of the era, signalling instructions, bugle calls, and to the centre are the schematics of a Lee Metford rifle. Printed in black and red on a cotton fabric, with hemmed edges. Approximately 58.5cm x 54cm. Condition: generally good. No holes or tears to the fabric, just a few tiny pin holes along the top edge where it has been pinned to a wall in the past. Strong colours to the printed surface, with some minor brown staining / foxing in places, but these don’t detract.
