This image shows "Summer," one of the tapestries hung in the Mackay mansion's great hall.

The caption accompanying this image reads as follows:

'Summer'. Removing the Season tapestries into the salon, which made it better accord to the first state room at Blenheim Palace, also made the hall more purely an expression of fused medieval and Renaissance tastes. This might be seen as a promotion as it were, but eventually, the Arras tapestries were relegated to Katherine's boudoir, before being sold. The two smaller panels from the set, Summer and Autumn, ended up in Akron Ohio, at the estate of rubber baron, F. A. Seiberling, Stan Hywet Hall.

This tapestry can be seen hanging to the right of the fireplace in the Mackay mansion's great hall as it appeared in 1902 1902 .
