ref. 232851983. Transgender Tapestry a run of 13 magazines spanning 1983 to 2002 trace the editorial and political development of a major U.S. transgender periodical from the Tiffany Club era of "the magazine for persons interested in transvestism & transsexualism" to the later IFGE-era language of "Celebrating the Diversity of Gender Expression." Issue 40 1983 grounds the early publication in community infrastructure through "A HOUSE What it means" "Special Report: Provincetown Outing 1983" and "NO NAME: Coping with the use and mis-use of labels" while Issue 74 Winter 1995 announces the title shift to Transgender Tapestry and pairs that change with cover lines on Rachael Pollack "The SRS Surgeon Crisis" and "Hunks in Frocks: The New Drag Films." The later issues in this run extend that documentary range into debates over Stonewall memory spouses' and wives' rights intersex politics hate crimes Sylvia Rivera and anti-violence discourse all within the publication history of a magazine founded by Merissa Sherrill Lynn and renamed beginning with Issue 74 in Winter 1995.

Issue 92. 13 Transgender Tapestry. Massachusetts: International Foundation for Gender Education Summer 2002. Issue 98. These 13 issues span transgender community debates across two decades of change: early issues address naming labels and community formation through pieces such as "A HOUSE What it means" and "NO NAME: Coping with the use and mis-use of labels" while the renamed Transgender Tapestry moves into explicitly political and institutional subjects including "The SRS Surgeon Crisis" "The First National Gender Lobby Day" "From Stonewall the Rebellion to Stonewall the Movie" "The GID Controversy" "Disposable People" "Remembering Our Dead" "Focus: Intersex" "GenderPAC in Washington" "Intersex Advocacy" "Jennifer Levi Attorney for Gender Justice" and "The Transgender Civil Rights Project." Across these issues the magazine records the shift from the Tiffany Club's earlier "tv-ts" and "transsexualism" framework to the broader transgender politics formalized by the title change at Issue 74 in Winter 1995. The later numbers coincide with the consolidation of transgender rights organizing in the 1990s and early 2000s: GenderPAC lobbying public argument over Gender Identity Disorder the emergence of Transgender Day of Remembrance-era anti-violence discourse expanded intersex advocacy and national legal work around gender identity discrimination all appear here in contemporaneous print rather than retrospective summary. Light creasing and minor handling wear across the run; interiors generally clean and complete. Overall good condition. This run preserves issue by issue the magazine's own record of changing transgender language political priorities and community print culture from the early 1980s through the early 2000s. unknown

Iranian Visual Culture and Kingship Monumental Qajar Textile Reviving Safavid Imperial Iconography of Shah Abbas I Nineteenth Century

1890ref. 146641890. Hand painted Persian textile depicting Shah Abbas I nineteenth century a monumental example of Qajar period revivalist visual culture that reinterprets Safavid imperial iconography to articulate Persian kingship martial virtue and historical memory. Centered on one of the most mythologized rulers in Iranian history the composition presents a continuous figural narrative in which Shah Abbas I appears mounted on horseback in a royal hunt sword drawn as he confronts a lion while turbaned cavalry attendants bearing spears observe. A secondary vignette shows the Shah pursuing a wild boar reinforcing long standing Persian associations between sovereignty mastery over nature and military prowess. Rendered in a frontal highly legible style with flattened perspective and rhythmic repetition the imagery translates the visual language of Persian manuscript illustration into large scale textile form reflecting nineteenth century Qajar engagement with earlier Safavid models of centralized authority and dynastic legitimacy. Hand painted Persian figural textile. Qajar period nineteenth century. Approximately 117.5 x 51 inches 9.8 x 4.25 feet. The upper register introduces a martial tableau of Persian warriors confronting Indian soldiers mounted on elephants imagery that evokes enduring visual memory of imperial expansion and recalls narratives associated with Nader Shah's eighteenth century campaigns against the Mughal Empire. In the Qajar period particularly in the later nineteenth century Safavid rulers such as Shah Abbas were repeatedly invoked across painting lacquer and textile production as symbols of national continuity and restored sovereignty. This textile operates within that historicist framework layering Safavid royal imagery with later martial memory to construct a composite vision of Persian power across centuries. Minor edge tears including one approximately 1 inch and three approximately 3 inches within the border and along the edge not affecting the central figural imagery; colors remain bold and composition visually strong. Overall condition: very good. unknown
