Two pages from the May 1912 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal (pp. 131-132) containing an installment of 'Fabric Analysis' on chemical and microscopic tests for identifying fibers. It covers distinguishing true from wild silk, cotton in linen, jute from hemp and flax, ramie, hemp, shoddy from wool, and mercerized from non-mercerized cotton, with a table of reagent reactions for artificial and natural silks. The pages also include a short note on Ryeland sheep and a continued 'Chronological Textile Events' list for 1808-1809, covering early American cotton mills, merino sheep imports and an engraving of an early power loom weaving room.
