Notes

Note attached to catalog worksheet: "During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, nearly everything was regarded as a suitable surface for floral embellishment. Even this belt, made for the Germantown Cricket Club, sports its share of bright multi-colored blossoms. The Cricketeers' belt buckle was imported from London." Donor: Mabel Bayard.
