TAPESTRIES AND THEIR IMITATIONS paratively coarse, and the weft threads fine and soft, the latter whenpressed home with the point of the bobbin or with the comb, coverand completely hide the warp threads that make their presence mani-fest as ribs. In other words real tapestries are ribbed or rep fabricswith surface consisting entirely of weft threads. They are also exactlyalike on both sides (except for the loose irregular loops of thread onthe back). In this they are unique. Between the real tapestry loom as still used at the Gobelins andBeauvais, Aubusson and Merton, New York, Rome, Madrid, Berlinand elsewhere, and the ordinary type of hand loom, the difference isfundamental. In the latter the bobbin is not passed with the hand,but thrown or knocked the full width of the warp in a shuttle. Realtapestry is a bobbin fabric; the woven imitations are shuttle fabrics. SHUTTLE AND NEEDLE TAPESTRIES Of these shuttle imitations, the cleverest and best are like theone illustrated in Plate V.
