A 1921 trade catalogue issued by William Whitman & Company of Boston, surveying its wool and cotton goods from yarn through finished cloth for buyers and the textile trade. Halftone photographs show mill interiors in deep one-point perspective — rows of looms, slashers, and warp beams under cast-iron columns and pendant lamps — offering machine silhouettes, repeating rhythms, and sepia industrial texture.
