A set of six pages reproducing engraved plates on silk weaving from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, Part VI of a series of weaving plates, devoted to brocaded fabrics (étoffes brochées). The plates show the brocade drawloom in perspective, side and front elevation, with its cords, pulleys, harness and heddles, a pattern cartoon with a color key, the rame and sample cords, the lacs, and a 'new machine for the tire' (draw mechanism). Captions are in French; the title page credits Philippe Demoule for preparing the set.
