A set of engraved plates from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie showing the silk dyer's trade. The plates depict dyeing vats and vessels, a dyer's workshop with tools, preparation of silks, washing silk in the river, and a frame for drying hanks of silk skeins. Captions are in French and figures are numbered, with a scale for one figure. The title page credits Philippe Demoule with preparing this part.
