Scrapbook titledThe Year That Was

Scope and Content

This has advertisements for children's wear, including Merry Thought and Basil Brush Children's Wear by Caprice. These have been cut out of magazines, newspapers, and from trade publications. Some are clearly for clothes manufactured by the company under their own name, while others may have been manufactured by the company for other suppliers. Most are black and white, but there are few colour adverts. The volume also contains a notebook in pencil with notes about designs, stitching, tailoring and patterns.
