Article of the Week - number thirty six - a jumper by Elizabeth Frink

In May of this year a Ritva Man jumper was added to the collection. 

Featuring an embroidered eagle, designed by the artist, Elizabeth Frink, this jumper was originally owned by Britt Eckland as you can see in this article from the blog, published just after the piece was added to the collection. 

One of these jumpers is in the Victoria and Albert Museum's textile collection. There is also more information on this auction site, the sellers of the piece.
