Excerpt from Catalogue of a Loan Exhibition of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Eighteenth Century and Modern American TapestriesTapestries are a form of art exceedingly easy to understand. Their large size, and the large size of the personages in them, makes it unneces sary to re-scale them as we regard them. Their soft and agreeable surface makes it unnecessaryto seek a special point of view from which they can be seen to advantage. Their extraordinary story interest makes it unnecessary to develop a special esoteric sense in order to grasp their artistic significance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
