Frontis. depicting the Bayer dyeing factory at Elberfeld & 35 plates (incl. 29a) with 308 mounted cloth & tufted samples. 3 p.l. (incl. frontis.), 4 leaves of contents & index. Large 8vo, cont. half-cloth & boards. Elberfeld: F. Bayer, 1898. A very handsome sample book with 308 fine samples of cloth and tufts, all in bright and fresh condition. The introduction of benzidine colors in the 1880s caused a revolution in the manufacture of textiles. A fine copy, complete with an unusually large number of samples. Most copies seem to be incomplete (the copy at the Jewish National & University Library, if we can trust Ron’s cataloguing, has only 34 samples). ❧ Ron, Bibliotheca Tinctoria, 75–“A commercial sample book of the Bayer dye-manufacturing firm. On the one side of the page the formulas and processes, on the opposite page sample results.”
