Purchased. Registered File number 1990/106. The design was originally made by Herbert Bone in 1881 as part of a set of mosaics depicting saints and historic figures to be made by Dr A. Salviati, formerly an eminent Venetian lawyer whose work can be seen in St Paul's Cathedral, the Albert Memorial, both in London, and All Saints Church, Windsor. Bone's designs do not appear to have been used by Salviati but tapestries were made from the designs some years later. According to Gordon G. Cunningham (The Royal Windsor Tapestry Manufactory 1876-1890, Vol. IV, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Historical Records Publications, 1979) this panel was hitherto lost, last recorded as part of a screen exhibited at the Chicago World Fair in 1893. However, from the rather poor illustration from the catalogue, reproduced by Cunningham, this panel would appear to be a different weaving. It is possible, therefore, that more than one version was woven by the Royal Windsor Tapestry Works.
