woven silk bookmark produced by Thomas Stevens | Coventry

'Bookmarks produced by Thomas Stevens are called Stevengraphs.
Stevens first introduced his Book Markers
in Coventry, UK, around 1862
and by 1876 there were 900 to 1000 different titles being
produced.
Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in Victorian days,
and Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration.'
