1880s Greenaway Suitings Printed Cloth Sample Book from the Merrimack
Mfg. Co. Mills.
An attractive booklet of 6 samples of ‘Greenaway Suitings’, a dyed
cotton, probably issued by the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, the
leading Lowell textile mill for much of the last half of the 19th
century. The covers feature a printed paper label showing Kate
Greenaway-style youths skating on a pond, with a yellow and green leaf
border. The first page has a similar style paper label titled “Greenaway
Suitings” with blank spaces for the style and yards to be filled in, and
a Boston printer’s slug at the bottom. Although not marked, this album
is very similar in style and content to an album we have hd which as
issued by the Merrimack Manufacturing Company of Lowell.
Card covers. 5.5”x8.5”. 6 cloth samples bound in. Covers with light soil
and wear. $250
