Two pages from The Textile Mercury of April 26, 1890, centered on a 'Designing' column about arranging reversed figures in textile design. It illustrates Fig. 13 and Fig. 17 (insects and branch motifs of Japanese inspiration) and Design 79, which shows striped figured cashmeres in a 5-end sateen. A short section on summer vestings in cotton gives particulars for three six-shaft patterns, covering reed, ends per inch, yarn counts and colour arrangements, with a drawdown. The pages also carry two letters to the editor, one on using flax waste by the Sutherland-Esdaile process and one on the Rating of Machinery Bill.
