A 1909 magazine article about Albert Herter's Aubusson Looms, a New York workshop weaving American-designed tapestries, draperies and rugs on low warp looms. It opens with reflections on medieval tapestries and calls for an American craft tradition. It then describes Herter's designs, his dyeing and mixing of cotton, silk, wool, linen and gold threads, and his French weavers. Illustrations show a low warp loom in the workroom and two Herter curtains.
