Two pages from The Textile Mercury of January 16, 1892, with a column on new designs for cotton dress goods and a piece on geometrical sateen figuring. The first part discusses spring fashions and gives details for Designs A and B (dobby drafts and pegging plans, thread counts, picks, finishes, colours). The second part explains how sateen skeleton arrangements (5-end and 8-end) can be combined with twills for dress fabrics and coatings, illustrated by Designs 4, 5 and 6. Drafts and pegging plans appear on both pages.
