A monarch in the reign of daintiness: the Excelda Handkerchiefs exhibit at the White City (1908), 1909. 'The handkerchiefs were awarded a gold medal. They are made of a new fabric, of the softest character, which has neither the stiffness of linen nor the fluffiness of cotton, Indeed, it has the delicacy and lustre of silk, with the touch of fine cambric.' From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
