THis old embroidery is another one of my all time favourite things. The linen was printed or painted(?) with the bear pictures and then it is embroidery around the edges.
I bought it off ebay years ago for a pittance something like $20. It dates before 1920, and According "Teddy Bears and Steiff Animals" by Margaret Fox Mandel its worth $350USD and that was in 1984!
Anyway the fact that is was a bargain, isn't why I love it, I just love it I love the print with the embroidery and how the linen is all brown and how beautiful it is.
