See more than 30 examples of small woven silk pictures, bookmarks, greeting cards and other amusing gift and souvenir items sold by the British firm of Thomas Stevens in the late 19th century. Their popularity in the U.S. is suggested by an 1876 Centennial bookmark, portraits of Presidents Cleveland and Harrison as well as three Stevengraphs woven at the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893.
