One-sided printing. The fairy tale of the witch and Hansel and Gretel is depicted on this children's handkerchief as a permanent representation. The nasty witch with a raven on her shoulder eventually disappears into the oven. The house of sweets is not missing. Remarkable: it was made by Vlisco. This is an important producer of imitation batik fabrics. Vlisco has been the designer and producer of striking fabrics loved by African women since 1846. In 1953 Vlisco released a number of handkerchiefs featuring Tom Poes. The setup is similar to this one.
