Mississippi River Silk Scarf
Crafted from the finest chiffon silk, The Father of the Water's is a flowing tribute. It drapes with the grace of the mighty Mississippi itself. Woven into its luxurious fabric lies an 1866 "ribbon map" designed by Coloney & Fairchild, tracing the river's path from Vicksburg to the vibrant heart of New Orleans and beyond.
Though it is a fragment of the original map spanning the entirety of the river's 2,600-mile journey, this scarf captures the essence of the Mississippi's spirit. Its delicate lines trace the river's twists and turns, whispering tales of its fluidity and the ever-changing landscape it carves through.
With exquisite detail, the map paints a portrait of the land, revealing its tributaries, towns, railroads, and landings.
The map was originally sold to steamboat passengers as a souvenir of their journey, it continues to transport us to a time when travel was an adventure and the Mississippi held the key to unlocking a vast and untamed frontier.
