I am doing research for a project on textiles and today I found this fabulous catalogue about a textile industry in Switzerland, Abraham Ltd., now closed but that for many years supplied with rich and beautiful textiles to haute couture houses in Paris and other cities, and suddenly looking at the gorgeous botanical-inspired patterns in their archives, some of these red roses seemed to be the perfect images to wish my readers a Happy Valentine's day!
