its French inventor, Giles Gobelin, about 1520. He was a famous
dyer who discovered the celebrated Gobelin's scarlet dye. The house in
which he lived was purchased by Louis XIV for a manufactory of
tapestry for adorning palaces, the designs for which were drawn by Le
Brun, a celebrated French painter, about 1666. Her Majesty Queen
Victoria has recently caused to be established at Windsor, an
establishment where the art of making "Gobelin Tapestry" is
successfully taught.

1921. Tapestry of Auxerre.

This town, in the northern part of the province of Burgundy, was once
famous for its tapestry of a peculiar make. The design was handwoven
in small patches of colour, and then was sewed together at the back to
form the picture. Tapestry painting in blocks or masses of a single
colour successfully imitate this tapestry, only that where the joining
is of the real Auxerre tapestry is in tapestry painting marked by a
black outline.

1922. Terra Cotta Painting.

Terra Cotta is an Italian term for "burnt-earth." Bricks are a coarse
kind of terra cotta. The new building erected at Kensington for the
reception of valuable remains and subjects of natural history, is
built entirely of terra cotta slabs. Terra Cotta vases of the early
and late Etruscan period, such as those in the British Museum, are
priceless. These are painted in various designs, and burnt in. The
Doulton Ware is a close, if not exact, representation of these
matchless specimens. Terra Cotta painting is simply vases and plates
of red terra cotta, painted in Greek designs with ordinary black
paint, and then varnished, or plates painted with a similar medium, in
flowers of various colours. These last, of course, are no imitations
of the antique.

1923. Lustra Painting.

Lustra painting is a recent invention that so much resembles silk
embroidery as to be mistaken for it. The outline of a design is
sketched either on Roman satin or any smooth fabric, and then bronze
powders of different colours are rubbed in with a preparation which is
a trade secret. The leaves and stems are outlined in silk, this
rendering the imitations more complete.
