From the back cover:
Tapestries have enjoyed popularity for many centuries, providing color, warmth and vivid chronicles for castles and palaces sorely in need of all three functions. It was in the Middle Ages, however, that the art of tapestry weaving and embroidery blossomed into maturity, leaving us a rich legacy including the Unicorn, Bayeux, "Scenes of Life" and many other examples. From these, as well as earlier and later examples, the author has drawn motifs, vignettes and entire scenes for a book that will serve as inspiration for artists, craftspeople and students of designs, thus joining the growing number of exciting titles in the International Design Library, listed on the inside back cover.
