Two pages from the "Designing" column of The Textile Mercury, 12 July 1890, presenting new fabric designs for the trade. It covers a square-based geometric design (Figure 21 and 21a) for mantle cloth, with warp and weft particulars, and its adaptation to silk dress fabric. Further sections give pegging plans for a fancy dress stripe on 12 shafts, an Indian dhootie design from Salem, Madras, with colouring and cloth specifications, and two Oxford shirting stripe patterns.
