...Have Stood Fast." Only four months ago Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was saying that Britain would not join unless Europe made "the way easy for us" (see cartoon). Now, as Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer hobnobbed in West Germany, it was plain that the road would be at best a rocky one. An outcry against Common Market membership from Prime Ministers of the "Old Dominions"-Canada's John Diefenbaker. New Zealand's Keith Holyoake. Australia's Robert Menzies-could bring Tory fortunes crashing. Menzies was notably less belligerent than he had been earlier this year, saying...
...cartoon, in a satirical French weekly, shows Charles de Gaulle all gussied up in Louis XIV garb as he packs a herculean suit of armor and Cyrano-sized nosepiece for a sally across the Rhine. "Madame," says the general to his wife, "will you please not forget my pajamas." No Dish Twice. But France's President will have very little time for sleep in the course of a strenuous six-day visit to West Germany this week. From Hamburg in the north to Munich in the south, the Germans-at De Gaulle's request-have laid...
...Lurgat's most important contribution was the introduction of the numbered cartoon, a kind of full-scale plan on Bristol board that the weaver follows at the loom. Formerly weavers took considerable latitude with colors and even design, but in transferring Lurgat's fanciful designs to tapestry, they are given no margin at all. Each color area bears a number that corresponds to a number on a skein of wool, not unlike the popular "by the numbers" painting kits; the method gives Lurgat complete control over the finished product...
...warp is strung on the loom to serve as the foundation for weaving. The other set of threads, the colored weft, is all that is visible in the finished tapestry. The weft passes over and under the warp; each time a different colored area is indicated in the cartoon, a bobbin holding a different colored thread must be used, and the ends of the different colored threads must be tied to hold the tapestry together. A tapestry is made with the reverse, or knotted side, up. As it progresses, it is rolled on a wide wooden cylinder. The finished tapestry...
...John the Baptist would not be much missed−to judge from the scant attention it got in nearly 200 years at the academy, mostly not even on public display. Off to Sotheby's last March went the announcement that the drawing, thought to be the cartoon of Leonardo's similar painting in the Louvre, would be auctioned...
