A short encyclopedia entry defining canvas. It describes canvas as a coarse unbleached hemp or flax cloth used for sails and tents, and as an open-mesh material used for tapestry and Berlin-wool work. It also covers painter's canvas, which is closely woven and primed, and the nautical sense of canvas as a ship's sails.
