Rare 1841 William Henry Harrison Brown Silk Crepe Mourning Badge with Central Engraved Portrait Image
1841 William Henry Harrison Mourning Badge, with Brown Crepe Memorial Ribbon and Printed Central Engraved Portrait Image of President Harrison at center, Very Fine.
Rare original 1841 William Henry Harrison Mourning Badge measures 3" x 6" has a central Oval Silk Engraved Portrait Image of President Harrison mounted in the middle, affixed to a decorative flourish of brown Crepe with ribbons hanging below. Some wear from use, even tone and minor separation of fabric at upper right, yet whole and complete. Crpe or crape (from the Fr. crpe) is a silk, wool, or other fiber fabric with a distinctively crisp, crimped appearance. The term "crape" typically refers to a form of the fabric associated specifically with mourning. Delicate and amazing that it still exists, being the first of this rarity we have offered.
