Excerpt from Loan Exhibition of Tapestries, Assembled, Arranged and Catalogued by George Leland Hunter: October 5th to December 1st Inclusive, 1918 Tapestries have a triple excellence. They possess not only the picture interest of photographs and paintings, but also the story interest of novels and romances, and the texture interest of damasks, velvets and brocades, em broideries and Oriental rugs. Tapestries need only to be seen to be appreciated. They are a form of art easy to understand. They do not require the development of an esoteric sense to be thrilled by their wonderful qualities.
