Off-white silk bifold case having the embroidered message, "See within this dainty case a filmy veil for thy fair face"
This motto appears in newspapers with sections for needlework or other feminine crafts at least as early as 1893. In 1895, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle said this was "last year's phrase."Collection
