Based on Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, the much-anticipated film was released in 1939 and was an instant global success.\n\r\nFor the part of the central character, Scarlett O’Hara, British actress Vivien Leigh beat over 200 other performers and won the role with which she is forever associated with. In 1940, she made history by becoming the first British woman to win theOscar for Best Actress.\n\r\nThe film was released in the UK in 1940 and ran for the duration of the Second World War. Its epic themes of survival and endurance struck a chord with war time audiences. This handkerchief, embroidered with characters from the film, was skilfully manufactured to tie-in to the films ‘weepie’ narrative.\r\n\nThe British Film Institute (BFI) acquired its costume collection for display at the Museum of the Moving Image, which existed on the South Bank in London between 1988 and 1999. The collection is made up of British, European, American and Japanese films and covers the period from the silent film era to the mid-1990s. It contains a wealth of historic and significant film costumes worn by major performers and designed by some of the 20th century’s most important film costume designers. The collection was transferred to the V&amp;A in 2015.","physicalDescription":"Souvenir printed handkerchief produced for the film <i>Gone with the Wind,</i> 1939. The handkerchief is printed with a design in tones of red, blue and white. The edges are printed with images of male and female figures, their dress reflecting the mid-nineteenth century setting of the film. These images are linked by meandering lines of flowers. Each of the corners is printed with one of the words from the title of the film, one with 'Gone', another 'With', a third,'The' and the last, 'Wind.'
