WORDS:


Ye Ancient Citye Arms.
	A.D. 1700.	{woven silk of the London Coat of Arms}	A.D. 1700.
		THE above are, the Ancient Arms of the City of London, this with the other views, are woven in pure silk. The seat of this industry is located in the City of of Coventry, England, noted alike the world over for its Ribbons. The beautiful Art of Weaving Pictures, and Views in Silk, is comparatively a new branch, having only been introduced of late years. Some idea may be obtained of the delicacy and labour involved, from the fact, that the views contained in this album, including the Coat of Arms, contain no less than 10,000 Silk Threads.
