War Map of Europe handkerchief

DESCRIPTION

ContributorCommunity HistoryDescriptionThis "War Map of Europe" handkerchief was produced by Boan Bros., a department store chain founded in Perth, Western Australia, in 1895 by brothers Harry and Benjamin Boan. The map likely dates back to the early 20th century, as indicated by the borders and the presence of Austria-Hungary, which dissolved in 1918. Boan Bros. was known as "Boans Bros as Universal Providers" before becoming a limited company in 1917, suggesting that this handkerchief was produced before that time.
