A short 1891 Textile Mercury article describing a Jacquard-woven silk prayer book (missal) owned by M. J. A. Henry of Lyons, shown at the Paris Exhibition of 1890. It gives details of its fifty pages of Gothic text, floral borders, four woven pictures after Renaissance paintings, the 500,000 cards used, and the plan to make 500 copies. The scan also includes two trade-policy items on foreign tariffs and a French protest against taxing raw silk.
