[Rarebooks] FS: 1880s Kate Greenaway Style Suitings Printed Cloth Sample Book

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1880s Kate 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. $175
