| Faux Silk Scarf French, 1940 The Victoria & Albert Museum I'm not sure why that hand bag is there. I think it's trying to eat the scarf. |
Made in France in 1940, this scarf of white artificial silk is printed with the signatures of famous film actors of the era. The autographs are printed in green, purple, orange and black and include the signatures of Joan Crawford, Douglas Fairbanks, Merle Oberon and Stan Laurel.
The work of an unknown designer, a scarf such as this would have been a popular item with those who were fans of the cinema, a nifty way to show an affinity for a particular group of stars.
