Veteran's Souvenir Trapunto
Date: About 1904 - 1920
Comment: Many sailors, marines, and soldiers whose post of duty placed them in East Asia or the western Pacific Rim purchased embroidered commemorative trapunto souvenirs (from the Italian trapunta, quilt). These souvenirs usually incorporated the eagle from the U.S. coat of arms and representations of the U.S. flag. Often the Chinese dragon or other Asian symbols appeared as well.
Provenance: Acquired by the Zaricor Flag Collection (ZFC1441) in 1998 through Soquel Antiques, Soquel, California.
