Victorian Mourning Punch Paper EmbroideryExceptionally rare Victorian punch paper embroidery memorial in my favorite motif, the weeping willow. Its very uncommon to find memorials in this medium: Youre more likely to find early 19th century needlepoint memorials than punch paper or cross stitch. Every now and then you find a large, rectangular punch paper memorial, but everything else is pretty much limited to bookmarks. Presented as found in what I think is probably the original frame.
