A French encyclopedia entry on embroidery (broderie) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It gives definitions and figurative senses, then describes embroidery frames (métier and tambour), the main categories (white, colored/metallic, and canvas embroidery) with their stitch types, and a historical survey from antiquity and Byzantium through the 18th century and the rise of machine embroidery. A plate illustrates historical examples such as the Bayeux panel, copes, chasubles, shoes, and Asian garments, along with frame types.
