Text Appearing Before Image:
bvious difference between the two is in the siuface textiue,that consists of ribs in woven tapestry and of points in needleworktapestry. Also, in needlework tapestry the background is often incoarse point (gros point) while the faces and hands and other partsof the figures are in fine point (petit point), an eflfect that hasrecently been for the first time imitated in real tapestry, and by anAmerican maker who uses fine warps doubled for the background,and single where the j^ctit points come. Furthermore, while the linesof the surface of woven tapestry run only one way (with the warp),those of the surface of needlework tapestry run both ways (with theweft, as well as with the warp), and are less pronounced. The basisor starting point of needlework tapestry is coarse canvas or etamineor buratto or some similar hard-spun fabric in loose texture.
