Handkerchief, blue print, uses of feathers "Small cotton handkerchief, hand hemmed. Cylinder printed in steam or china blue. The center vignette shows a variety of fowl in the barnyard. The perimeter features vignettes: a lady contemplating a display a feather beds in a bedding warehouse; a woman feeding chickens in the barnyard and another collecting eggs; children playing shuttlecock; a mother and daughter wearing “Down for dress”; a plumed bicorne hat; quill pencils and pens; bakers using “eggs for pastry glaze”; a couple purchasing fowl at the butcher shop and another herding their geese.
