Two pages from The Textile Mercury (18 January 1889) opening a series of textile designs for the trade. The designs cover cotton fancy dress stripes (Designs 1 and 2, with warping and pegging plans), worsted coatings (Design 34), woollen trouserings and suitings (Designs 35 and 36, including mohair spotting), and a dress fabric (Design 37). Each comes with warp and weft setts, reed counts and picks per inch. The first page also carries trade market reports and news notes from European textile centres.
