A Manual of Dyeing and Dyeing Receipts, Comprising a System of Elementary Chemistry as Applied to Dyeing
A technical dyeing manual by Scottish industrial chemist James Napier, published 1875 for practising dyers of cotton, wool and silk, pairing elementary chemistry with numbered working receipts. Each page sets solid rectangles of dyed cloth or printed colour beside its formula, giving designers dark green and olive swatch blocks, recipe-numbered captions, and letterpress pages built around a single colour field.
