Catalogue of the 1922 retrospective loan exhibition of European tapestries at the San Francisco Museum of Art, written by Phyllis Ackerman with a preface by director J. Nilsen Laurvik. It opens with an historical and critical introduction to tapestry weaving, then lists about 79 tapestries in order of date and place of origin (Franco-Flemish, Flemish, Brussels, Tournai, Fontainebleau, Gobelins, Beauvais, Aubusson, Mortlake, Russian, Spanish and others, 14th to early 19th century). Each entry gives materials, dimensions, subject, commentary and lender. Many plates reproduce the tapestries, and the book ends with a list of weavers and a subject and title index.
