Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of dyeing as practiced in 18th-century France. The author, a keen observer of the dye-house, explores the process of dyeing wool, silk, and cotton, providing detailed instructions and insights into the methods used by professional d…yers. The text delves into the intricacies of preparing the materials, setting the vats, and using various natural dyes to achieve a wide array of colors. The author meticulously examines the distinction between "true" and "false" colors, arguing that true colors, or "colors in grain", are achieved through a complex chemical process that binds the dye particles to the fibers of the material being dyed. The book also highlights the importance of the "bouillon" - a preparatory process that utilizes acid and fine earth to expand the pores of the wool, making it more receptive to the dye. Through this exploration of dyeing techniques, the book sheds light on the chemical principles underpinning the art, providing readers with a valuable historical record of dyeing practices and their scientific basis. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

8vo, pp. x, (vii), 206, 209?508, (4) adverts, and 6 engraved plates. Contemporary red morocco (joints and ends of spine very neatly repaired), flat spine richly gilt and with green morocco label, sides with rope-twist borders, marbled endpapers. Second edition in English (but see below) of this collection, consisting of three se…parate works: Jean Hellot?s L?art de la teinture des laines (1750), Pierre-Joseph Macquer?s L?art de la teinture en soie (1763), and Le Pileur d?Apligny?s L?art de la teinture des fils et étoffes de coton (1776). These are three of the thirteen key works in the history of dyeing published before 1856 (Edelstein), and ?the major importance of [Hellot?s] book lay in the careful discussion of techniques which made it a standard work for the remainder of the century? (DSB). The anonymous translator evidently considered the French dyers of the period, who were subject to regulation and inspection, to be superior to those in England, to whom these authoritative works were unknown. Only the work by Hellot had been translated before (Dublin, 1767), but the present translator considered that translation very inferior. The book is dedicated to the Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce. This collection was first published in Paris in 1785, but that edition is very rare, ESTC recording only 2 copies. It is possible that the sheets of the two editions are the same. Cole 615. Neville I, p. 607 (lacking the final advert leaves). Edelstein, Historical notes on the wet-processing industry, pp. 83?85.
