Decorative textiles; an illustrated book on coverings for furniture, walls and floors, including damasks, brocades and velvets, tapestries, laces, embroideries, chintzes, cretonnes, drapery and furniture trimmings, wall papers, carpets and rugs, tooled and illuminated leathers . Plate XVI—THE ADORATION OF THE MAGILate German Gothic tapestry in the Metropolitan Museum. Plate XVII—THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTSFormerly in the Hoentschel-Morgan collections 264 GOTHIC TAPESTRIES into their garments, Joseph, zebulun, pharaoh, levi, judas, reuben. The Latin inscription reads, translated: In the year of theWorld 2500 came Jacob as ordered. Pharaoh made great joy overhim, and as a reward to Joseph gave his father the land of Goshenfor which he asked. The tapestry illustrated on Plate XIII, belonging to the Chi-cago Art Institute, resembles closely (although it is much smaller)the famous Crucifixion now in the Brussels Museum which was boughtat the Somzee sale in 1901 for $14,000. The arrangement of the twotapestries is similar. The Crucifixion is in the middle, with the Resur-rection on the right; but on the left the Brussels tapestry has theBearing of the Cross, while the Chicago tapestry has the Last of the two thieves that appear in the Brussels tapestry, theChicago one has two angels and fewer personages, as is consistentwith its size.
