are often done with •silk or even gold or silver — and some
tapestries have been produced entirely in silk,

Tapestries used as wall hangings found a wide accept-
ance in mediaeval Europe— they gave warmth and color
to the stark stone walls of castles and. other interiors, and
they were a type of furnishing easily movable from one ,
location to another.
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. All of these reflect the style of the '

During the 18th Century, European taste moved towards
a lighter and more delicate style'of decoration. Tapestries
hegan to lose favor, and the art reached a low point in the
19th Century. An exception was a revival in the 1880's by
' William Morris in England, who returned to mediaeval
inspiration in tapestry design, just as the "pre-Raphael-
ite painters, andpoe ,014 in art and poetry.

apestry in Today's World
The revival of interest' in our own time is artially
at-
tributable
tributable to a reaction against poor quality in mass -
k Produced merchandise and synthetic. fabrics. 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.
