 
This small purse is made from tortoiseshell and leather. One side is beautifully
inlaid with silver flowers. It was not for everyday use but for
going out dressed in your best clothes.

Return to last page Roll over this photo to switch between
the purse and an illustration of a lady going visiting and carrying a purse. The illustration
is from the 1890 Young Ladies Journal, a women's magazine of 'fashion,
fancy work and family reading'.
