Description

A short, black capelet made of grosgrain (ribbed silk) [possibly a mourning item -- I.J.]. Fabric has been manipulated in the shoulder area to form a small partial sleeve head. It is edged in lace and has 2 panels edging the neck and front and continuing on to two long lappet-style panels. The edging goes around these panels and around the neck and shoulders. The label says: "H.S. Robertson/Ladie's [sic]& Children's Outfitters/110 Finchley Rd. N.W." [London, England]. There is a lot of hand sewing.
