Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 15 July , 2003 Share Posted 15 July , 2003 Silk postcards were very much a cottage industry in WW1. French ladies would do the embroidery on a large piece of material, several to the sheet. They would then be cut and stuck onto card. A friend of mine has one of the sheets with eight or so designs on that never got to the cutting stage. Fantastic work for what was a poorly paid occupation.
