Article by Betty Kurth describing an early 17th-century Swiss wool embroidery genealogical panel, then owned by French & Co., New York. The panel, worked on dark blue wool in stemstitch and laid work, shows Hans Morell and his wife in a central medallion surrounded by twelve roundels of their children, each engaged in an occupation. Kurth discusses the Morell family history, the evidence for a Swiss (Zurich workshop) origin, and compares it with a 1598 family panel in the Historical Museum, Basle. Includes two plates.
