A January 1891 Textile Mercury piece summarizing a Lucie H. Armstrong article in the Art Journal on the revival of English silk design and manufacture. It covers the Loan Exhibition of British-made silks, the Spitalfields, Braintree and Macclesfield silk centres, and Messrs. Walters and Sons' furniture brocades, with two reproduced designs (a modern floral brocade and a design by Thomas Wardle after an Ajanta cave fresco). It ends with calls for a national school of silk weaving and for penalties on selling weighted silk as pure.
