my
pictures
of
the
actual

description.
All
is
in
VGC
for
its
age,
the
only
faults
to
note
are
some
slight
storage
fold
marks
upon
the
linen,
&
some
small
brown
marks,
origin
unknown,
which
should
wash
out
of
the
finished
piece
once
completed.
Linen
still
nicely
starched,
to
make
stitchery
easier.

Postage
is
as
a

They
