Note on the Tapestries at the Pompe Funèbre of Charles III of Lorraine
Note on the Tapestries at the Pompe Funèbre of Charles III of Lorraine
Article · 10 pages
An article on the tapestries hung in the salle d'honneur at the 1608 funeral ceremonies (Pompe Funèbre) of Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, as shown in Friedrich Brentel's engravings of about 1610. The author compares the Moses tapestries in the engravings with nine Moses tapestries from the Dukes of Lorraine now in Vienna, and cites Pierre Marot's explanation of the differences. She identifies Bernard Salomon's woodcuts in the Quadrins Historiques de la Bible (Lyons, 1553/1558) as the pattern source for Brentel's tapestry scenes. Illustrated with plates of the engravings, a Vienna tapestry, the Discours title page, and a Salomon woodcut.

It ends with a list of embroidered examples of each subject in museums and private collections.

Some Pattern Sources of 18th and 19th Century Printed Cottons
Article · 20 pages
An article tracing the engravings that designers used as sources for the figure and animal motifs in 18th- and early 19th-century printed cottons, especially the toiles de Jouy made at Oberkampf's factory. It discusses the cartoons of Jean-Baptiste Huet and shows how figures were borrowed from Berchem, Rubens, Watteau, Boucher, Jacques Stella's Pastorales and Oudry's illustrations for La Fontaine's Fables. The text is a few pages, followed by sixteen plates that pair printed cotton details and cartoons with the engravings they drew on.
