CALENDARS
Various woven calendars were made in different years - many mounted on postcards from the early 1900s onwards, others with Christmas or New Year greetings printed on the reverse side.

Several silks were incorporated in the covers or mounts of calendars (the calendar part being printed on paper in the normal manner) and these cannot be classed as woven calendars. Nevertheless, the finest post-war Grant silk pictures have been especially woven to enhance these standard calendars.

Other comments:
On the calendar above, the central flap containing the silk, lifts up to reveal the 1937 calendar, together with an amusing motto.
As can be seen in the image below, the calendar is still complete, and the motto for January 1937 reads:
" All men are equal but - it is what they are equal to that matters. "
