Collection of "Silks" sewn together
I just picked up this collection of "Silks" that were sewn together. I'm curious how common such sewing projects were. Does anybody else have photos to share? I was thrilled to acquire it from a seller at Mark McRae's recent show in San Leandro (Thanks Alan!). It looks like someone spent a lot of time putting this together ...
There are 15 baseball players (s74s), and the rest are actresses (s72-1s I believe). Curiously, a number of the silks depict the same actress, Elsie Ferguson, whom I had never heard of. I Googled her up, and she's routinely described as "the most beautiful woman to ever appear on screen" Sadly, all her silent films are lost today ...
