Washington in Silk.

An extraordinary example of what
human skill can produce in weavino' a
textile fabric can be seen on exhibltibn
at the Norwalk Boston Store. This is
a copy of Stuart’s famous portrait of
George Washington, woven entirely on
the loom without printing or touchinv
up of any sort. It almost shakes oneg
credulity to be told that’the work is
entirely the result of the weaver’s skill.
Yet such is the fact. This marvel, which
was one of tho sensations of C icavo
is composed of 600,000 threads 0 silk:

made on a Jacquard pattern, which re-

quired 25,000 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 month to manu-

facture. .The delicate shading is ob-

tained by an ingenious use of three

looms, requiring the most careful man-

ipulation by the best experts in the

world. This wonder of the loom is.
more than a mere curiosity. It is really

a work of art, and as such is worthy of

the closest study.
