Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 30 May 1891 containing a Foreign Correspondence column on the US textile trade and a Designing section. The Designing section gives warp and weft color-and-thread-count plaid patterns for 6- and 8-shaft twills, a short essay on adapting natural plant forms to figured textile design with botanical sketches, and particulars for bleached linen and cotton vestings, jackets and shirtings. The final page has designs with pegging plans and drafts for 13-, 14- and 16-shaft vestings.
