Cover Design: This is the final tapestry of The Lady With the Unicorn Series (1509-1513), of which Rainer Maria Rilke has said in his The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, “Everything is here. Everything is forever. We have never yet seen her weary; is she weary? Or has she only seated herself because she is holding something heavy? A monstrance, one might think . . . It is a mirror, the thing she holds. See: she is showing the unicorn its image.”
