Incredible silk portrait depicts French hero Marshal Ferdinand Foch
During World War I, several French textile manufacturers focused on making souvenir silk pictures that soldiers serving in France could purchase as small mementos to send home to their families. These postcard-sized pictures often depict Allied generals, including Marshal Ferdinand Foch, who was one of America's favored French war heroes. But the quality of these small pictures is generally not very good—in modern terms, not enough pixels or dots per inch—so the images are a little coarse. But in the National Museum of American History's textiles collection is an exceptionally finely detailed portrait in silk of Marshal Foch, of a size suitable for framing.
