Two pages from The Handicrafter (1929) presenting excerpts from Thompson's History of Tapestry. The excerpts cover the fate of Raphael's "Acts of the Apostles" tapestries (pawned, stolen in the 1527 sack of Rome, returned to the Vatican), the effect of eighteenth-century painters' designs on Gobelins weaving, and the change in tapestry style in the later fifteenth century. The scan also includes the end of an article on historic caps, including a Massachusetts bobbin lace cap, and a short passage on Italian majolica, plus advertisements.
