A French encyclopedia article on embroidery (broderie) from a dictionary of arts, manufactures and agriculture. It opens with a historical survey of embroidery and tapestry in antiquity, citing the Bible, Homer, Pliny and Ovid, then covers canvas embroidery (tapestry stitches such as petit point, gros point and chain stitch) and its materials and patterns. The article describes hand embroidery frames (screw and slat types) with proposed improvements, and ends with a long technical description of a Heilmann-type embroidery machine with pantograph, grippers and needles.
