folio ca. 12"x 17", bound in full light brown leather with red and black spine labels and heavier leather at corners, leather with moderate wear. Exterior good to very good. Contenst are pages after page of student and staff names and dates when they started at the school, some people listed as "dyer" or "foreman" or "student" or "salesman" or "loom - fixer", etc. Names and their home addresses given and date. The names are put in groups according to first letter of last name- all "a's" at the front of the book then with many pages skipped "b's" , etc. Within each letter the names are given by with earliest date first - which seems to be in 1885, later studenta fill in the list for each letter- latest date noted appeared to be ca. 1919, but there could be later entries, or maybe ending earlier. There were tabs on some pages, but many of these are now gone- probably from use. Contents very good condition. Scarce survivor. The Philadelphia Textile School was started in 1884 and known for giving students real experience in the field. Later it became Philadelphia University. 14301 Due to size and weight overseas shipping will cost more than of an average book. Seller Inventory # 14301
