This is great. Thank you. I would love to see the show. You probably know this already but Tristan Weddingen at the Biblioteca Hertziana gave an amazing talk recently on the history of French tapestries focusing on the way they were used as platforms for political propaganda in the early modern period. I think he is working on a book. You should invite him to come and speak...On another subject completely, sort of, he talked about the depiction of mirrors in tapestries a little bit. Learning about how the original images are mirrored to reproduce the final tapestry, is fascinating to me for some reason...
