Two pages from The Textile Mercury, April 19, 1890, in a series on textile designing. They give weave designs 76, 77 and 78 for silk, cotton and worsted dress fabrics, with setts, yarn counts and colourings, and cotton shirting drafts and pegging plans for Oxford shirtings. They also cover an Indian cotton counterpane from Hoshyarpur, Punjab, with border and centre layout. Page 2 also carries a notice of a loan exhibition of British-made silks in London and a news item on the Rating of Machinery Bill.
