Tapestry woven in wool, cotton and silk, and showing an allegory of 19th century Africa. The tapestry is filled with a trophy of a lion-skin draped over a shield with an elephant's tusk, spears, one of which pierces an exotic bird, a golden ewer, shells, a snake, an ostrich egg, feathers, jewels and a chain with open manacles. Flanking the trophy are tall stems of corn and carved seated figures which are part of the architectural framework in terracotta covered with blue 'hieroglyphs' which form the border. The background is of a greenish-cream, and pale green and brown are the predominant colours. Woven in wool and silk on a cotton weft, 18 to 20 warp threads to the inch.

  • 'American and European Art and Design 1800-1900' The Grand Staircase at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, is hung with four allegorical paintings of the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The latter two are identical in every detail with the tapestries of <i>Africa</i> and <i>America</i> shown here, except that they are in reverse, like cartoons for low-warp tapestry weaving. Unfortunately the paintings are unattributed and no-one knows even their date of acquisition. [1987-2006] (en)
