EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite floral embroidered shawl, created by the skilled hands of Mrs. Mary Davis, dates back to circa 1927. The intricate and artistic design of this shawl showcases Mary's exceptional embroidery skills, with each petal, leaf, and stem meticulously stitched in vibrant thread. Mrs. Davis was not only a talented artist but also an accomplished textile designer. Her work was recognized and celebrated in the artistic community, as evidenced by the gold medal she received in the textile department at the Paris Exhibition in January 1924. In addition to the shawl, she also sent a scarf to the prestigious event. The shawl's beauty and craftsmanship were not limited to the Paris Exhibition alone. It was also exhibited at Wembley in 1924, further showcasing Mary's artistic prowess to a wider audience. The shawl's timeless design and intricate embroidery continue to captivate viewers even today, making it a cherished piece of textile art history. This photograph is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the past and showcasing the beauty and skill of textile artistry.
