Item description from seller

"The Dyer's Assistant in the Art of Dying Wool and Woolen Goods extracted from the philosophical and chymical works of those most eminent authors Mess Ferguson, Dufay, Hellot. Geoffery, Colbert and that reputable French dyer, Mons de Julienne, translated from the French with additions and practical experiments by James Haigh silk and Muslin-dyer, Leeds". In the Preface Haigh states his objective as "bringing the art further out of obscurity to assist dyers in making discoveries". He says that most dyers have only a few colours but that the primary colours available in nature - blue, red, yellow, brown and black - can be combined to give many colours. In wool dyeing he distinguishes between Greater dyes, which are fast and fine, and Lesser dyes, which are not fast and false, the latter being more prevalent being generally brighter and cheaper to use. He says that in France this same distinction is between Grand teint and Petit teint with dyehouses being prevented by law from mixing them in the same dyehouse. The text describes the basic natural dyes and their their mixing capabilities and gives recipes and processing instructions for achieving a range of colour effects. He acknowledges the debt to earlier works by Berthollet and Chaptal.Title page, Preface (ii-xii), Introduction (xii-xvi), 270pp followed by (i-iv) Contents. 7 x 4. Occasional mis-pagination corrected by a previous owner. Light foxing to end papers and title page. Original half calf binding, with rubbed paper covered boards. Contents Very Good. Referred to as the earliest English edition under book 0493 in Ron: Bibliotheca Tinctoria. Size: 7.25 x 4.25. Copyright: David Rigby.
