Small date of 11/15 printed on the verso of the title page. From wikipedia: Edith Louisa Cavell (/ kĉv l/ KAV- l; 4 December 1865 12 October 1915) was a British nurse. She is celebrated for treating wounded soldiers from both sides without discrimination during the First World War and for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium and return to active service through the spy ring known as La Dame Blanche. Cavell was arrested, convicted following court-martial under German military law of violating medical neutrality, and sentenced to death by firing squad. Despite international pressure for mercy, General Traugott von Sauberzweig, the military governor of Brussels, refused to commute her sentence. The night before her execution, Cavell said, "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone". She was executed the next morning in the presence of Imperial German Army medic and war poet Gottfried Benn. Cavell, who was 49 at the time of her death, was already notable as a pioneer of modern nursing in Belgium. Unlike the subsequent execution by the French Army of two German Red Cross nurses, also for smuggling escaped POWs through the lines, Cavell's trial and execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage. In response, Kaiser Wilhelm II decreed that no more women were to be executed by the German military without his express permission. Cavell's words on the night before her death were inscribed on the Edith Cavell Memorial[1] opposite the entrance to the National Portrait Gallery near Trafalgar Square. Her deeply Christian beliefs propelled Cavell to help all those who needed it, including both German and Allied soldiers. She was quoted as saying, "I can't stop while there are lives to be saved."[2] The Church of England commemorates her in its Calendar of Saints on 12 October.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. CAVELL, Edith. - [Memorial napkin: Nurse Edith Cavell, "The Florence Nightingale of Brussels"] . Wigan: Palatine Press, [1915]. Square crepe paper napkin, 375 × 375 mm, printed on one side in red, blue, gold, and black, incorporating a half-tone reproduction of the familiar Daily Mirror portrait of Cavell with her dogs, framed by Union flags and memorial text. Old folds and light foxing to edges but well preserved for such a fragile production. A very good example. Issued within weeks of Edith Cavell's execution by firing squad on 12 October 1915, this ephemeral napkin was part of the rapid memorialisation of Cavell as a patriotic martyr. A nurse and Red Cross VAD based in Brussels, Cavell was arrested for aiding Allied soldiers to escape occupied Belgium and was prosecuted by a German military court. Her death provoked international outrage and gave rise to a wide range of memorial souvenirs, sermons, and broadsides. The text printed here is an example of the rhetoric that transformed Cavell into a symbol of national sacrifice, employing religious and sentimental imagery: "Our English Edith was made of steel and lilies ? 'I am happy to die for my country'. Those words will be inscribed in stars across eternal skies so long as English womanhood is a living thing." A scarce survival: ephemeral by nature, these napkins were rarely preserved. Only one other noted in commerce, and none currently traced in institutional holdings.

The is a commemorative souvenir produced just after the first world war to show images related to Miss Edith Cavell and Gabrielle Petit, both of whom where executed by the Germans during their occupation of Belgium during the First World War. Edith Cavell was a British nurse that saved many lives on both sides and helped many allied soldiers escape occupied Belgium. She was caught and sentenced to death by firing squad. Her execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage. Gabrielle Petit was a Belgian women that spied for the British and was caught and sentenced to death by firing squad as well. Both women were revered after the war and this folder and images document a lot of what happened after the war. The images show classic portraits of both women, monuments to them. and a number of grizzly images of exhumed bodies including one German soldier that refused to shoot during the execution.

Rare surviving copy of this fragile memorial napkin commemorating the life of Edith Cavell (1865-1915). Using evocative language, the napkin tells the story of Cavell, her role in the war, and her death at the hands of a German firing squad on 12 October 1915. Cavell was a British nurse working in German-occupied Belgium at a Red Cross hospital which treated casualties from both sides, as well as civilians. From September 1914, she became part of a network that sheltered Allied soldiers and Belgians eligible for military service, arranging their escape. Over the next 11 months she helped around 200 British, French, and Belgian soldiers to leave the country. Initial shock at Cavell's death was quickly succeeded by international protest, and she became, almost overnight, a heroine and martyr. She was used as a symbol of the Allied cause and her memory was invoked in recruitment posters and propaganda such as this napkin. Cavell's memory was also immortalized in statues. The most famous, by Sir George Frampton, was commissioned in 1915 and erected in the early 1920. Situated in London in St Martin's Place, it is inscribed with the words "Patriotism is not enough, I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone", part of her final message from prison. We have traced no copies of this napkin listed on WorldCat. Square crepe paper napkin (355 x 355 mm). Frame-mounted in archival board (477 x 480 mm.) Printed on one side in black, red, blue, and gold, large central photograph. Old folding creases, a few small edge chips, paper flaw to left-hand side, overall well preserved.

Cavell was a British nurse who worked in Belgium and was influential in improving nursing practices there. In the early 1910s, she trained nurses for hospitals and schools. In 1914, during the opening of World War I, she began harboring British troops in Belgium and moving them to Holland.
