This silk weaving (often incorrectly labeled a "Stevengraph",) depicts Lady Godiva with her back turned to the front of a stained-glass window in St. Mary’s Hall, Coventry, England. The delicate woven silk bears the attribution, “Woven by W.H. Grant & Co., LTD,” at its base. Hence, not a "Stevengraph" but comparable to one.

The picture was designed by artist Thomas Donald Howes and the W.H. Grant Co. as calendar art in 1930 to benefit suppliers and a few select customers. (See the fourth scan.) The Grant factory was destroyed by the blitz in 1941. The company produced silk weavings before and then, after the Second World War. The Godiva weaving was made in 1958, as a stand-alone item for framing and hanging.  The firm with J. & J. Cash in 1961. 

The quality of the weaving is quite exceptional, and the plinth looks almost in 3D to the naked eye. There are images of Peeping Tom to the left and right of the statue. The colors in the “stained glass window” are excellent. The scans (because the silk already framed) do not adequately depict the fine quality of this work of art. If you are not satisfied, return the item free of charge for a full refund. 

The Stevengraph is in a frame measuring 14 cm x 21 cm. 

The web contains considerable information on Lady Godiva; she was an exceptional lady.

This fine Grant weaving is a very fine example of the embroiders art worthy of one's collection.
