Handkerchief owned by Harriet Tubman, 1870s - early 20th century. Creator: Unknown.
A square handkerchief made of machine-woven off-white linen or cotton with cutwork lace edging. One corner of the handkerchief has an additional cutwork motif of a stylized fleur-de-lis. African-American anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman (c1820-1913) was born into slavery in Maryland. She escaped in 1849, became a leading Abolitionist and was active as a 'conductor' in the Underground Railroad, the network which helped escaped slaves to reach safety.
