What reading level is Three Fragments of the Earliest French Tapestry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both tapestries have a blue background with yellow stars. The distribution of the stars between the different figures is done in the same way on both pieces. The character of these backgrounds looks rather diflferent in the two photographs which we reproduce here. The Nuremberg photograph was made about twenty years ago with ordinary plates; the Metropolitan pho- tograph was made recently with orthochromatic plates, exaggerat- ing somewhat the values of the colors. Certain details are abso- lut...ely identical on both tapestries, as, for instance, the lining of the garment of the figure in the right corner of the Metropolitan tapestry (St. Margaret of Antioch) and that of the fourth figure from the left in the Nuremberg tapestry (St. Dorothea or St. Eliza- beth). To judge from the reproduction the texture seems to be of the same quality in both weaves.
More important than the identity of measurement and of little details is the general character of the composition : the fine rhythm 'of the lines of the drapery, the expression, and the attitude of the saints, the way they move their arms and hold their different sym- bols is absolutely identical in both tapestries, while we find certain figures draped in white robes, others clad in colored garments in which the modeling is obtained by primitive hatchings which show that we are here at the beginning of a technical evolution.
