Above the Heron is a stone bridge with brisk water running underneath and to the left is another bridge of wood and above a cathedral and to the right a castle and then a small town with a mountain range above all surrounded in lush grass flowers and tree trunks and branches with a plethora of leaves. 18th Century
Measures 75" x 54" [6.25' X 4.5'] {190.5 X 137.16 cm} wool with silk backing and rod tunnels on top and bottom . On upper ridge there are indentations and some residual rust from an attempt to keep the tapestry level as it was original incased in a massive inclosed box frame for untold decades for viewing which is much better than original photograph and in otherwise exceptional condition.
