A one-page dictionary entry on the merino from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré, with an engraving of a merino sheep. It describes the breed's physical features and fleece, its supposed North African origin and its development in Spain, and its introduction into France (Roussillon, Montbard, Rambouillet). It also covers merino cloth, a twilled all-worsted wool fabric first made at Reims in 1803, and its three kinds: simple, Scottish (checked or striped) and double.
