An extract from the review volume on art at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, covering the chapter "Les tissus d'art: Tapisseries". The author surveys tapestries and carpets on show, starting with the Spanish crown tapestries in the Spanish pavilion, then the Gobelins, Beauvais and Aubusson manufactories, William Morris and Burne-Jones tapestries, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian, Hungarian and other foreign work, including machine-woven tapestries from Tourcoing. He criticizes the weak modern cartoons and discusses the technique and decorative character of tapestry compared with painting and embroidery. The pages are illustrated with many halftone reproductions of tapestries and carpet models.
