Past and Present Tapestries The Woodpecker Tapestry
Description
The Woodpecker Tapestry was designed by William Morris in 1885 and based on his poem about Picus, the fabled Italian king who was transformed into a woodpecker. It bears the gothic inscription:
I once a King and chief
Now am the tree-bark's thief,
Ever 'twixt trunk and leaf
Chasing the prey.
The most popular of our William Morris tapestries - the Woodpecker tapestry is now woven in France in 80% cotton and it is lined, with a rod pocket for easy hanging.
