Claim your limited-edition commemorative Centennial silk scarf and pocket square

The charming silk twill scarf and pocket square feature a reproduction of a drawing by the acclaimed New York-based artist Tug Rice specially commissioned for the ESU Centennial Gala on October 21, 2020.

The illustration playfully references the ESU Gala honorees – The Princess Royal, surrounded by Dr. Quinn Peeper, Dr. Laurance Morse, Mrs. Elizabeth Scott, Mr. Donald Best, the late Mr. William Miller, Ms. Karen Karpowich and Dr. Paul Beresford-Hill - against the background the ESU library.
