“Spotted” Handkerchiefs appear frequently through out the 18th and on into the 19th c. They are described in shop advertisements, runaway ads and featured in genre paintings. Originally made by “tie & dye” method in India, English printers & dyers sought to duplicate the popular style using blocks which made for lively patterns at minimal cost. This handkerchief is based on contemporary illustrations and art as well as a large number of written descriptions from the 1750's onward proving the popularity of the color and style. Our handkerchief is based on the illustration of "The Lovely Lavinia".
