A single-page dictionary entry on the word "métier" from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It covers general meanings (trade, profession), idioms, proverbs and historical senses. The encyclopedic section describes the loom: embroidery and tapestry frames, the weaver's loom with warp beam, heddles (lames), reed, beater, cloth beam and treadles, and the low-warp, high-warp and Jacquard types. Two engravings show a hand-operated frame loom with a seated weaver and a mechanical loom.
