First installment of a series by Dr. H. Grothe in the journal Engineering reviewing textile industry exhibits at the 1873 Vienna Universal Exhibition. It first discusses how prominently textiles figure among different nations' displays, outlines the planned scope (raw materials, spinning, weaving, dyeing, printing, finishing), and gives exhibitor counts by country. It then surveys raw fibres on show, including nettle/rhea, Brazilian and palm fibres, cotton, jute, bamboo, Panama-hat leaf, New Zealand flax, flax, hemp, wool, silk and sea-silk (Pinna).
