Silk handkerchief
A silk handkerchief printed with a picture by Fortunino Mantania who was an italian who worked as a war artist in Britain. I think this handkerchief came into the family collection when a family friend died. Her father had also been in France. The picture it represents is a fine art piece. I understand the painting was printed onto handkerchieves and sold on the streets in London.
