1705 · London : Printed by William Pearson, for J. Sprint ... [et al.] · 1 picture

A 1705 London trade manual on dyeing silk, wool, and linen, the first part translated from German and the second covering wools and woollen manufactures, printed by William Pearson for a consortium of booksellers and aimed at working dyers and clothiers. The only picture indexed is a plain letterpress initial capital T, inked unevenly on flecked laid paper, useful as a specimen of early eighteenth-century roman display type and of print texture for period-accurate lettering.
