Vista of the Alpine Valley

Under Review

Material: Cloth

Size: 65mm x 50mm

Description: This artifact is a vintage, fully embroidered souvenir travel patch commemorating the Fraser River in BC. The rectangular emblem features a stylized outdoor vignette composed entirely of textured satin stitches. Deep purple alpine peaks rise sharply in the background against a multi-toned blue sky, overlooking a serene mountain lake framed by the stark black silhouettes of native lodgepole pine trees. The foreground is anchored by a vibrant green meadow dotted with delicate white and yellow wildflowers, a river flows in the mid field.

Circa: Late 20th Century
