Two pages from the Textile Mercury of 21 February 1891 with a 'Designing' section on new designs for the spring season. It gives fancy diagonal dress fabrics (Nos. 1-4) and fancy spring vestings, with warp and weft counts, ends and picks per inch, colour schemes, stripe and check sequences, and shaft drafts. Drawdowns, a pegging plan and a draft are shown for the vestings and for Design 17, a weft-flush twill with an extra weft figure. The first page also carries unrelated trade news and a paper on machine stoking of boiler furnaces.
