PARIS VIEWS
The Stevens presentation book of unmounted silks in the Coventry Museum includes two silks depicting views in Paris:
a: An upright view of the Eiffel Tower, with the woven title SHA. MAISON DU PHENIX SHA [st524 on this site].
b: A landscape silk view of Paris with the Bon Marche building prominently placed in the foreground. This silk has the woven title PARIS-MAGASINS DU BON MARCHE (above).
Both these silks show the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889.

Other comments:
As can be seen, this is an image of a loose silk. It has not been seen mounted, and as such it is attributed to STEVENS as it is contained within the Stevens Family Album, presented to The Alfred Herbert Museum.
