Shawl
This beautiful shawl once belonged to Mary Elizabeth Richardson Fletcher (1847-1922), a founding member of the Tadmuck Club and an organist at the Unitarian church. She was celebrated for her cheerful optimism and inspiring spirit. Mary received this exquisite Chinese shawl, presented in a decorative lacquered box, as a gift from her brother, Charles Richardson (1839-1922), who had brought it back from his travels in China.
