Godden does not record this title.

Other comments:
There is no Grant name on either the front or back of this picture.
The design of the silk though is identical to that of the Grant bookmark, gb104: Souvenir / Machinery Hall, and that bookmark has the woven GRANT weavers name on the reverse, thereby confirming that the silk picture above must also have been woven by Grant.
