A 1908 French monograph on Gaspard Grégoire (1751-1846), an inventor from Aix-en-Provence who made small painted silk velvets ("velours Grégoire") resembling miniature paintings. It gives his biography, his dealings with the royal administration under d'Angiviller, and his privilege of 1788. It also explains his process of painting the pile warp threads before weaving, catalogues surviving pieces in museums and collections, discusses imitators, and reproduces archival documents.
