Other comments:
The image above is Stevens THE START, but clearly has the Mannion credit as the weaver.

It is believed that Mannion was an agent of Stevens in America, and there are a number of identified Stevens silks mounted with Mannion credits:

Centennial Exposition / of the Ohio Valley and Central States / Cincinnati 1888
The Finish {st193}
For life or death - sub titled: 'Heroism on land' - 4 horses
The Good Old Days - winter landscape
The Mersey Tunnel Railway
The Present Time / 60 Miles an Hour
The Start - the image above
The Water Jump {st601}

There are also bookmark and portrait silks with the Mannion credit.
