A single page from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré (1904) containing the dictionary entry for 'filature' (spinning, spinning mill), with an encyclopedic account of industrial spinning. It describes the four stages of preparing and spinning wool, cotton, linen and hemp, and the separate process for silk from cocoons (reeling, throwing, spinning waste silk). It also includes the adjacent entry 'file' (row, line), mostly military and naval usage, and an illustration of spinning machinery.
