A review by Roberts Beaumont, a professor of textile industries at the Yorkshire College, of the woven fabrics shown at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It is organized into parts on general considerations, woollens and worsteds, cottons and linens, and silks, with an appendix arguing that the fair holds lessons for British manufacturers. The text compares British, American, French, German and Japanese exhibits and names many firms. It has 44 illustrations of designs and sketches of woven samples, including sectional weaving plans (point-paper designs) for extra-weft, velvet, pile and figured silk fabrics. The scan ends with advertisements from loom and textile machinery makers.
