A one-page encyclopedia entry on the French word "lice" from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It describes the haute-lice (vertical) tapestry loom and the basse-lice (horizontal, pedal-operated) loom, the tools used (broche, peigne, poinçon), and how the weaver works from the back of the tapestry. It also lists the technical meanings of lice as a heddle, with its types, and as thread or cord in other trades. Illustrations show a haute-lice weaver, a modern basse-lice loom, and the tools.
