Quilter, James Henry. "THE TRIMMING AND FINISHING OF HOSIERY & HOSIERY
FABRICS"

Bradford; Charles Greening, printer: 1889.

A complete technical guide to tacking, scouring, fulling, bleaching,
stoving and related processes, illustrated with a number of wood
engravings of machines. Based on a series of articles the author wrote for
The Hosiery and Lace Trades Review, with added material. Quilter was the
author of several other books on knitted fabrics. Scarce- OCLC locates two
copies. That’s simply a comment on the book’s physical scarcity today, not
indicative of what I’m sure was a bestseller-like popularity in 1889, when
everyone doubtless read a copy on the trolley on the way to work.

Hardcover. 5"x7.5", 76 pages (plus pages 60a-d), plus xi pages of
advertisements. 13 wood-engraved illustrations. Publisher’s red pebbled
cloth with black rules and title. Covers a bit soiled, a little wear at
the tips, endpapers browned. [31295] $250.00
