Steven’s Postcard Fly Fishing Scene, by Thomas Stevens (SC216)

This postcard is an experimental design by Thomas Stevens. It has an embossed surround  and the silk shows two fishermen fly fishing. In the distance is a bridge over the stream. Beneath is “Woven in Silk”. I have referred to Stevengraph Silks , allocated it this reference number and where there is some interesting detail relating to the origin of the experimental silks. They were not intended for sale, but passed down in the Stevens family, as confirmed by a member, so they are very scarce indeed. Not recorded by Godden or Sprake/Darby. It really is a lovely picture and you are unlikely to come across another! This postcard is trimmed, but remains extremely rare.
