A short French encyclopedia entry on the Manufacture des Gobelins, the famous Paris tapestry and dyeing establishment. The text begins with the origins of the Gobelin family, dyers from Reims who settled in the faubourg Saint-Marceau along the Bièvre in the 15th century. A full-page plate shows numbered examples of Gobelins tapestries from the 17th to 19th centuries, with a caption naming the cartoon designers (Lebrun, Boucher, Oudry, van der Meulen, Galland, Claude).
