Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 7 June 1890 containing a 'Designing' column on sateens and their derivatives. It explains sateen construction principles (high ends per inch, few picks, weft lying straight) and discusses 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-end sateens with their uses in coatings, dress goods, doeskins and Venetian cloth. It also covers tying a back to a sateen face, illustrated by small drafts (Designs 108-120), and gives a linen dress design with fruit and foliage figures, with warp and weft specifications. The first page also carries unrelated trade news on the US tariff, markets and dry goods imports.
