Double issue (Vol. 27, Nos. 1 & 2, 1943) of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin. The main article, by William E. Suida, discusses the Trivulzio tapestries of the Twelve Months, woven at Vigevano in the early 1500s and now in the Castello Sforzesco, Milan. It describes each monthly tapestry, attributes the cartoons to Bramantino, and prints and translates Trivulzio's 1509 account book entries for the tapestry maker Benedetto, covering wool, dyes, yarn and candles. A shorter piece covers an early silk weave in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection, showing a youth wrestling a lion and dated 6th-8th century, and the issue closes with Club notes for 1943-1944 and notices.
