Soho tapestry reproduced for F. Schumacher & Co. 
A room in Lady Sackzd/le’s London 
house. Here hangs the original Soho 
tapestry of which the one illustrated 
above is a reproduction by Schumacher. 
Early in the 18th century the original of this tapestry was 
woven in Soho. It was one of a group of eight done under 
the direction of John Vanderbank, the Flemish artist whose 
contributions to tapestry weaving have made the name Soho 
synonymous with tapestries of rare beauty. 
Six of these tapestries are in existence today. At one time 
they were in possession of Elihu Yale, founder of Yale Col¬ 
lege. Now they form important historical groups in Lady 
Sackville’s London house and in the South Kensington 
Museum. 
Each one ol them has been reproduced in France for 
F. Schumacher & Co. Hand made by the most skilled weavers 
these reproductions preserve the unique charm and unusual 
color variations which distinguish the originals. 
Many other beautiful tapestries of different periods and in 
various sizes have been reproduced for Schumacher. These may 
be seen and purchased through your own decorator or 
upholsterer.
