Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of a Special Exhibition of Textiles The exhibition is limited to patterned stuffs, shuttle and bobbin-woven on the loom, and does not include tapestries, rugs, and embroideries as such, although a fine tapestry technique is used in many of the Coptic and Chinese textiles, which were made rather as garments than as wall hangings. Plain materials are also not shown, as their interest to most visitors is far less than that of the patterned weaves, which have a higher artistic and historic value, intrinsically considered.
