Our picture was generously offered to us by Monika Roleff who tells us: "This paper bag is part of the collection of ephemera of a well travelled Australian woman, an executive at the E.S & A. Bank Melbourne (Australia) during the late 40’s and 50’s. A very cultured woman of elegant taste, she fastidiously kept many unusual and interesting paper reminders of where she travelled, and had a very exciting life. Often travelling first class, she covered most of the world during her long lifetime, not only during her career, but also after her retirement in the early 60’s. Finding this site {London Remembers} was so helpful in showing the origins of the fruiterers bag, and very valuable in providing the missing link as to its origins!”
