Queen Mary Works 8 Years To Complete Rug

The rug features birds, fruits and flowers in pastel wools, with most panels signed Mary and dated. Myrtle Cheney Murdock, wife of Rep. John R. Murdock, has written a book on Constantino Brumidi, to be published this Summer with support from the National League of American Pen Women and an anonymous foundation.
