An extraordinary example of what human skill can produce in weaving a textile fabric can be seen on exhibltion 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 touching up of any sort. It almost shakes one’s 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 the sensations of C icago, is composed of 600,000 threads 0.“ silk, made (In 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.
