Life Magazines' Photo archive has some incredible pictures and we found this one while looking through. The rug pictured below is a history lesson in the United States. Starting at the top there is a portrait of Lincoln on the left and a portrait of Robert E. Lee on the right. At the time of the Civil War, Lincoln was President and Lee was the General of the Confederate Army. The flag on the left is the current US Flag while the flag under Lee was one of the First National Flag, used by the Confederates. In the middle of the rug is the first President of the United States, George Washington.

To the left of Washington is a Native American Indian, while on the right there is a Pilgrim. Underneath Washington is a seal of the United States, with a bald eagle on top of a badge with the American Flag inside of it. On the bottom left is a portrait of the Statue of Liberty, and on the right is a picture of the Capital Building.

The earliest surviving pile carpet is the "Pazyryk carpet", which dates from the 5th-4th century .
