An encyclopedia article on weaving from the mid-19th century. It covers weaving in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, then warping with the warping-mill, beaming, and drawing-in on a simple two-heddle loom. It goes on to plain weave, stripes, checks and twills, and to the development of the power-loom (De Gennes, Cartwright, Radcliffe). It ends with a note on design education in Lyons and a section on Bonelli's electric loom. Illustrated with engravings of a warping-mill, a hand loom and a power-loom.
