Engraving:  Sericulture, the demanding practice of the unusual entrepreneur William Skinner.  Text with this image reads, "Pushing aside some of the silken threads and breaking others, wit h crimped and damp wings the moth emerges ; and the exit once effected, the wings soon expand and dry. The escape of the moth, however, breaks so many threads that the cocoons are ruined for reeling, and consequently, when ten days old, all those not intended for seed are placed in a steam heater to stifle the chrysalis, and the silk may then be reeled at any future time."
