A 1888 magazine article by Alan S. Cole explaining tapestry-weaving and how it differs from embroidery and from shuttle loom-weaving. It surveys the technique from Greek and Egypto-Roman insertions (the Kouban ducks, Akhmim finds, tabulae adjunctae) through medieval and Flemish wall-hangings such as the Siege of Troy to modern Chinese silk tapestry. Illustrated with five halftone figures of historic specimens.
