The Unicorn Tapestries by Margaret B. Freeman and Linda Sipress

The unicorn tapestries are one of the most popular attractions at The Cloisters, the medieval branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Traditionally known as The Hunt of the Unicorn, this set of seven exquisite and enigmatic tapestries was likely completed between 1495 and 1505. The imaginatively conceived scenes―displaying individualized faces of the hunters and naturalistically depicting the flora and fauna of the landscape―are beautifully captured in silk, wool, and metal yarns. Oversized stapled souvenir booklet. This 1974 Metropolitan Museum of Art Softcover is in good condition. Not heavy but large so extra postage may be needed;.
