Crusades Inspired Europeans. The earliest wool tapeStries in Western' ,Europe date from. the 12th and 13th centuries— when the Crusades had. made European's familiar .with the tapestrids of the • East. The first professional tapestry workshop in paris was established about 1263. The earliest surviving product of that workshop- is a group of large tapestries showing scenes from the Apocalypse_, now in the Museum of Tapes- tries in Angers, France. Others from the same period In- clude one called "Nine Heroes," now in. The Cloisters in New York, and the "Presentation of Christ in the Temple," which is in Brussels.

Tapestries hegan to lose favor, and the art reached a low point in the 19th Century.

Another fac- tor is that modern painting of the abstract school trans- lates- well into tapestiy. And ,again — today's architecture .is stark and severe, and in 'need of color, just as were mediaeval castles. Hence decorative wall hangings are again 'serving a true function, even if they. are no ionger needed to keep out the cold. Today we have not only theprofessional weavers in tra- ditional» workshops, but also the small-scale production of the artist -weaver. Even more notable, perhaps, is the prominence of the individual craftsman, most often a craftswoman, who expresses herself in the related tech- niqueS of needlepoint and crewel embroidery.. Many of today's experts in needlecrafts are members of the Embroiderers' of America, an edueational, non. - profit organization whose purpose is to maintain high standards of design, color,» and workmanship in allkinds of embroidery and canvas work. Through its New York office, the Guild carries on a variety Of activities, includ- ing a quarterly publication, a reference library, and occa- sional contests. The modern illustrationwe show are courtesy of .the Embroiderers' Guild, as they are .among the winning de- signs in a Christmas Card competition held by the Guild. They are interesting modern interpretations of the tapes- try themes of the past. UNICORN TAPESTRY \ Many tapestries of the 15th and 16th centuries portrayed secular themes as well as religious ones. Court and hunt- ing scenes were popular, as in the famous "Hunt of the Unicorn," now in The Cloisters, New York. • .ftereens4johygsPlan.7ieeryvebrVapOnpey, 73voeurrIrdayht ere"' r • or• t4i KEITH FIIZS1IM1lS» REAL ° ESTATE & BUSINESS BROKER KEITH and ANNALISA Firzsimmois 176 Diagonal Rd., Wingham, 357-1117 • :,kve.,ty,• • , /Wei& MeiglAtig With sincere wishes for a memorable. holiday season goes our thanks for your' friendship and trust.
