EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of needlework from England in 1698. The creator remains unknown, but their talent and attention to detail are evident in this exquisite artwork. Depicting a king and queen surrounded by an array of animals, birds, flowers, and insects, the composition is truly enchanting. At the center of the tapestry-like design lies a cartouche featuring a man peacefully fishing in a river with a fountain below. The use of appliquéd linen plain weave combined with various embroidery techniques such as couching and embroidered cut pile adds depth and texture to the piece. Additionally, seed pearls, glass beads, silk threads, gilt metal strips wires purl, and bullion cross satin stitches further enhance its beauty. This historical artifact not only represents skilled craftsmanship but also provides insights into British culture during the 17th century. It serves as a testament to the rich heritage of artistry that has been passed down through generations. Now housed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery space for all to admire, this needlework transports viewers back in time while showcasing nature's splendor alongside regal figures. Its vibrant colors bring life to each element within the scene – from majestic lions to delicate flowers – creating an immersive visual experience. As we marvel at this extraordinary masterpiece captured through photography today, we pay homage to both its anonymous creator and those who have preserved it throughout history.
