Friedman (F4364). This measures 65 cms by 67 cms and like the V&A piece is not hemmed along the top and bottom. It has the same verses in the same order but omits the German text from the lower inscription.\r\n\r\nA similar piece is in the Jewish Museum in London. This was given by Mrs Stanley Harris in 1968 (number 664 in their catalogue). In this one the poem is different. The lower inscription includes two initials - one on either side of the text.","briefDescription":"Commemorative handkerchief of plate-printed cotton, probably printed by Berberich & Co. in Bad Säckingen, Germany, ca. 1871.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"soldiers","id":"AAT185678"},{"text":"medallion","id":"AAT77354"},{"text":"roundels","id":"AAT10267"},{"text":"ferns","id":"AAT132431"},{"text":"floral","id":"x36456"},{"text":"cupids","id":"x37689"},{"text":"military","id":"x40300"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["T.4-1992"],"accessionNumberNum":"4","accessionNumberPrefix":"T","accessionYear":1992,"otherNumbers":[{"type":{"text":"Previous number","id":"THES51695"},"number":"25243"}],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-11","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":true}}
