Your wish for a loan of a tapestry 200 x 300 is difficult to fulfil. It would only be possible if a series were torn apart. Moreover, the content would hardly be pleasant, since it is completely old-fashioned. In my discussions and discussions last summer (June) the question of loans was discussed in the most detailed way. At that time, together with the speakers of the Reichsprotektor, we found that a considerable number of tapestries and pictures of our museum are still stored in the depots of the Prague Castle. On the question of loans, therefore, the head of the Reich and the governor of the German Reich reserved himself for any further treatment and decision.
