Tapestry Needlework
A mid-Victorian Berlin woolwork tapestry.
The term tapestry refers particularly to a type of woven cloth. However, the term is also used to describe a piece of stitched embroidery worked on a canvas ground, such as Berlin wool work. The famous Bayeux tapestry, with its embroidered decoration (couching and laidwork), is perhaps one of the most famous examples.
