[Robin Bledsoe]

For your consideration:

Jos. Dépierre (chimiste)./Traité de la Teinture et de l’Impression des 
Matières colorants artificielles. /Part 1: /Les Couleurs 
d’Aniline./Paris: Béranger, 1903.Réimpression. Part 1 (of 5, issued over 
a 12-year period), complete in itself. $275. + s/h (trade terms).

557p, several tables (some folding), and over 215 original textile 
samples mounted in (ca. 3/4 x 3 inches).The samples show many different 
colors and patterns on cotton, wool, and silk.A very few are a little 
clipped; most are very good to fine, some with a little inevitable 
fraying.Spaces for 4 samples (nos. 127, 142, 157, and 178) are present 
but were left empty and are stamped “manqué” by the publisher.Original 
brown cloth.Endpapers somewhat chipped; contemporary price label partly 
removed from front endpaper; scattered light foxing; some page edges a 
little chipped.Overall very good.

Very comprehensive French manual on the chemical composition and 
manufacture of aniline dyes, and how to color and print fabric with 
them.It is based on a German work, /Die Anilin-Farbstoffe/ by one 
Kertesz.The main sections are arranged by color.
