A trade history of American silk manufacture written by L. P. Brockett and issued by the Silk Association of America in New York for the 1876 Centennial Exposition. The engravings are three-quarter views of mills and factories—long window ranks, chimneys, roof monitors, lettered signboards, and small figures and wagons—useful for industrial architecture, period lettering, and hatched sky and foliage texture.
