Ilus- trating a French medieval “Pastoral Romance.” The weaving is of fine and even character; the coloring is of restrained blues, greens, yellows, tans, ivories and dull pinks, giving a most agreeable tonality. These tapestries are of great import in illustrating the quaint costumes of the period. One is evidently signed by the weaver in monogram, T.G.A. Any signature on Feletin tapestry is extremely rare, and certainly denotes that the weaver considered the work of great merit, and he was un- doubtedly correct. These tapestries were originally in the collection of Comte Hendrekoff. 500—Ferretin Tapestry Early Siateenth Century “The Betrothal.” In the center of uneven ground, rising to several distant chateaux, flanked by fruiting oak trees, a young rustic seigneur, who has just returned from hunting, clasps the hand of a maiden wearing flowers in her hair and grasping a long staff.

In the mid-distance a further couple look on with evident interest at the ceremony. | Height, 6 feet 8 inches; length, 8 feet 11% inches. From the collection of Comte Hendrekoff.
