A short web document describing a set of four hand-woven Jacquard silk panels of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, designed by Eugene Grasset and woven in Lyon by Tassinari & Chatel in an edition of 300. It gives a brief history of the firm, founded in 1680, and describes each panel's imagery and the woven musical score. It notes the set came in its original cardboard portfolio and that the CVMT association acquired a copy.
