Joke Visser will be  exhibiting her collection of "Souvenirs de ma Jeunesse" at the l'Aiguille en Fete in Paris. Joke is renowned in The Netherlands for her collection of Samplers and her book "Merklappen uit de lage landen"
This "Souvenir" is from Joke's collection, and was made by Anna van Vollenhoven in the first quarter of the 19th Century. A member of Anna's family is married to Prinses Margriet,  a sister of Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands.


 

If you are at the l'Aiguille-en-fete in Paris, Joke would be delighted to meet you and explain the history of these beautiful Souvenirs.
