Two pages from the Textile Mercury of 27 December 1890 (pp. 444-445). The pages open with the end of a piece on the Bradford Chamber of Commerce and retaliation against French tariffs, then run short items on Piedmontese and Italian hemp cultivation, book reviews and a note on granite cloth. The textile content is a 'Designing' column arguing that British cloth lacks artistic design compared with French, followed by notes on figured dress cloths (Designs A, B, C using plain, twilled hopsack and double plain) and tartan checks and stripes. The tartan section gives thread counts for the Clan M'Neil, Macintosh, Cameron and Gunn setts, with pegging plans and a draft.
