THE WAR MEMORIALS TAPESTRY GUILD

"A MOORLAND SHRINE”
DESIGN FOR A TAPESTRY
PANEL BY SYDNEY LEE

Crafts, and further, that Lord Sackville
has offered the Guild a suitable building,
forming part of his historic mansion, Knole
House, at Sevenoaks, for conversion into
workshops. It is gratifying also to know
that definite orders have already been
given by wealthy patrons of the Arts for
tapestries to be executed as soon as the
workshops are started. 000
Some of the designs shown at Messrs.
Agnew’s are now on view at the War
Memorials Exhibition at the Victoria and
Albert Museum, organized jointly by the
Royal Academy War Memorials Committee
and the Museum authorities, and no doubt
they will, with others, reappear at the
exhibition to be held at Burlington House
in two or three months' time. The object
of these exhibitions is not to supply mate-

rial which may actually serve as memorials,
but to provide suggestions which may be of
assistance to artists and the public who are
interested in their execution or promotion.
At the Museum the exhibits, numbering
over a thousand, are arranged in two broad
groups, recent designs and models by living
artists being placed in the West Hall, while
in the East Hall numerous objects from the
Museum collections form a retrospective
section. Many of the exhibits in the
Modern Section, besides the tapestry de-
signs now reproduced, have already figured
in these pages, and we hope presently to
reproduce others from this section. The
exhibition will remain open till the end of
September or later, and should certainly be
consulted by promoters of memorials before
deciding on designs. 000
