Washington in Silk.
An extraordinary example of. what
human skill can produce in weaving a
textile fabric can be seen on exhibition
atthe'NOrwalk Benton Store. This is -
a copy of Stuart’s famous portrait of
George Washington, woven entirely on
the 100111 without printing or touching
up of any Sort. It almost shakes one’s
credulity to be told that the work is
entirely the result of the weavei’s skill.
Yet such is the fact. This marvel, which
was one of the sensations of Chicago,
is composed of 600,000 threads of silk,
made on a Jacquard pattern, which re,
quired" ..~ 5,000 cards, and which took the
labor of some of the best experts in the
world, using the finest appliances of
Lyons, two and one-half years to pro-
duce. It cost $8, 000 to make the first
copy of this masterpiece, and every ad
ditional copy takes three expert weav- ,
ers two and one- half months't n1 anu-
facture. The delicate shading is ob-
tained by an ingenious use of Zthree
looms, requiring the most careful man.
ipu‘lation by the best experts in the
world. This wonder of the» 100111 is
more than a mere curiosity. It is really
a work of art, and as such is worthy of
the closest study.
