A one-page French dictionary entry on bleaching (blanchiment) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It gives the general definitions, then an encyclopedic section on bleaching textiles. For plant fibers (linen, hemp, cotton) it covers lye or lime scouring followed by oxidation, including Berthollet's 1784 chlorine bleaching and the later hypochlorites, in place of meadow bleaching. An engraving shows a cuvier (vat) for pressureless lye bleaching.
