Although it is missing its tags, this scarf is a hard to find 100% silk scarf featuring a variety of hummingbirds based on the studies of English ornithologist, John Gould (1804-81). The background colour is a light greyish blue with shadows of leaves and branches. Around the border of the scarf are the Latin names of the birds. For a humming bird fan or gardener, this is a delightful accessory.
CONDITION: There are signs of previous use on the scarf in terms of a softness/looseness of the silk, but it is in good vintage condition without holes or runs. There are some faint small stains along the border that are only visible if scrutinized (please see final picture).
