Part XII of a compiled set of weaving plates from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, devoted to passementerie (trimmings, braid, galloon, ribbon and fringe making). The engraved plates show workshops, galloon looms, figured-ribbon looms, fringe looms, low-warp looms, twisting (retors) equipment, and tools for making reeds (peignes) and heddles (lisses). Pages carry French plate titles and figure numbers only, with no explanatory text. Two plates show galloon pattern designs or drafts and ways of passing the pattern.
