The carpet took eighteen months to make and was eventually shipped to the United States where it was given to President Calvin Coolidge as a gift in 1925. It was returned by the Coolidge family to the White House in 1982. Its most recent public display was in November 2014 at the White House Visitors' Center as part of the exhibition "Thank you to the United States: Three Gifts to Presidents in Gratitude for American Generosity Abroad". ==History== Due to the Armenian Genocide, thousands of orphans and refugees were resettled in the Middle East and placed in orphanages throughout the region. One hundred thousand orphans were assisted by the Near East Foundation, an American-led relief organization. An orphanage run by the Near East Foundation in Ghazar, Lebanon, housed many such orphans. In the early 1920s, as a token of appreciation for the Near East Foundation having protected them, four hundred orphaned girls wove a carpet over the course of 18 months. 〔〔 It was intended as a gift to the United States, and was formally presented to President Calvin Coolidge on December 4, 1925. A label on the back of the rug reads, "In Golden Rule Gratitude to Coolidge". This is a reference to the "Golden Rule" campaign: each year, on the first Sunday in December, people in the United States were asked to eat only a one-course meal and contribute the money saved to Near East Relief.〔 The gift of the rug received nationwide coverage. Coolidge remarked in a letter to the Vice-President of the Near East Foundation, "The rug has a place of honor in the White House where it will be a daily symbol of goodwill on earth".〔 Coolidge displayed the rug in the White House's Blue Room. After his presidential term ended in 1929, the carpet was taken to his home in Northampton, Massachusetts.〔〔 The rug lay in the living room of his house until his death in 1933, after which Mrs. Coolidge kept the rug in her home in Northampton until her death in 1957. After a period in storage, the Coolidge family returned the rug to the White House in 1982, where it was placed in storage, not on public display.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armenian Orphan Rug」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
