Woven Picture
This is a Woven picture. It was probably DuPont Rayon Company. It is dated 1939 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is rayon and its technique is jacquard woven. It is a part of the Textiles department.
This souvenir of the 1939 New York World's Fair was woven on-site in an exhibit demonstrating mechanized weaving with DuPont rayon. It illustrates the DuPont Chemistry Wonder World, a building designed by Walter Dorwin Teague and R.J. Harper, which featured a spectacular 105-foot, test-tube-shaped tower.
