User talk:Daylightandmidnightrain/Devonshire Hunting Tapestries

Peer review

Your lead paragraph does a good job of introducing the tapestries and providing links to terms I would not have understood [Arras in Artois].  I also liked the description of the fashionable dress of the time. A few of the links to descriptions seemed unnecessary as they are common terms,  such as the link to hunting and to the British Government. I am also interested in the width of the tapestries with the height that you provided in the Lead. You provided that information in the more detailed descriptions so it may not be needed in the Lead.

The organization of your article is clear and gives a good path for the reader to quickly get to topics about which one may want to know more.

In the first paragraph of your History you mentioned hunting being the only source of meats considered noble. I would like to know more about what makes a certain meat noble and why was that important at the time.

You do not need to repeat the subject of the tapestries in the second paragaphy of History as it was introduced the first paragraph. The next sentence in the second paragraph is a good transition from the end of the first paragraph.

Introducing the concept of “cartoon” in the second paragraph of Production is so interesting as I have no information that suggests it is different from what we consider cartoons to be now. You might provide more information about the cartoons and even an image if one can be located. I would also like to see an image of the high-warp and low-warp looms.

In the first paragraph of the Boar and Bear Hunt description  you introduce the horizontal loom. How does it differ from the high- and low-warp looms. You also mentioned the lady on the lower right with “Monte de Desire” on her sleeve. I could not find her sleeve with the writing on it, though I did find a lady that seemd to be crossing a stream.

Is there more information coming in Description about the Falconry tapestry.

The description of the Deer Hunt tapestry says it is the smallest tapestry. The dimensions of the others are less in both the height and width. The term “curée” is spelled “cure” later in the paragraph. The term ‘hawking” is introduce. Is there more description you can provide as it is an interesting concept.

Your coverage of this interesting topic was balanced and neutral with excellent references. You found so many good references. You made me wish I could go to the V&A Museum to see them, and maybe I will. Markwhite01 (talk) 19:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
