I asked this the last time we were talking about patterns. There is a
similar pattern that I came across maybe 35 or so years ago. It had
something to do with the Queen - proably one of Victoria's. But even then,
AIR, even though it was available, it was for only the rich and famous'
purses. At the time I thought it one of the most beautiful patterns I'd
ever seen.
