This is a souvenir from Elizabeth the Second\u2019s \u00a0coronation. It measures 33&#215;29 inches (approximately) and is printed in bright colours. It feels like silk but I imagine it\u2019s made of Rayon, which is a kind of nylon.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever been worn and so the colours are as bright as new. It\u2019s starting to fray at one edge &#8211; see photo- but it doesn\u2019t harm the image.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaborcossa.co.uk\/antiques\/product\/coronation-souvenir-handkerchief-1902\/\">Coronation Souvenir Handkerchief, 1902.<\/a> This is another Coronation Souvenir which I bought with the Coronation Headscarf, 1953. I know it\u2019s 50 years older but I think it was aimed at the same market.<br \/>\nThere is a huge number of 1953 souvenirs on eBay\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eBay.co.uk\">http:\/\/eBay.co.uk<\/a><br \/>\nbut I can\u2019t find many headscarves. I\u2019m not saying that this is a rare headscarf but I think it\u2019s relatively unusual.<br \/>\n1953 is the year before I was born. I think it\u2019s far away enough now to be worthy of attention. I don\u2019t want to get too sniffy because in the 1970s I collected Festival of Britain things and that was in 1951 and so I was collecting things that were barely 20 years old. Also, Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden were names I admired in the 1970s and they were far from antique.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coronation souvenir headscarf, 1953. 33&#215;29 inches.
