5.0 out of 5 stars An Exceptional Resource for the Handkerchief Collector, January 2, 2000
By Nairn' B. Gillet (Sarasota, FL) - See all my reviews
This little (135 pages) book must surely be the definitive resource for anyone interested in the history of the handkerchief. Originally published in Italy in 1992, it was recently translated into English and republished in this country. Owing to its Italian origins, there is a LOT of information here pertaining to European handkerchiefs of the pre-1900 vintage. Only when we get to the 1920's or so do we get into American made hankerchiefs.

The book is filled with color photographs of hankies, and the lace hanky photos are some of the best I've seen.

It IS possible that there is another book out there on this subject, but certainly NONE as exhaustive a study as this one is.
