A review of hand-woven textiles seen at the 1939 New York World's Fair, concentrating on the Swedish exhibit from Elsa Gullberg's studio. It covers fringed and long-pile rugs and draperies, Rya and Flossa rugs, and samplers in Finnweave and Dukagang. Shorter sections cover Norwegian tapestry and rugs and the French and Belgian tapestry displays, including the large Floris Jespers hangings. The article includes sketches of three rug motifs and charts of designs suitable for Dukagang or other laid-in techniques. The scan ends with the start of an unrelated item on the National Conference of American Hand Weavers at Hartland, Michigan.
