Article · 1 page · German
A single page from Melliand's Textilberichte with Alfred Schellenberg's illustration (Abb. 10) of a salmon-red Austrian silk damask cover (Vivatdecke) of about 1779 made for Emperor Joseph II, held by the Breslau Kunstgewerbe-Museum. The figure shows a central equestrian figure surrounded by floral and foliate motifs. A footnote says the figure belongs to Schellenberg's article on pictorial weaving in Rococo silk damask covers, published in issues 8-11 of 1926. A correction states that the cover shown in Abb. 1 on page 668 (1926) is salmon-red, not lilac-red.
