Anilinfarben für Lacke = Aniline colours for lakes = Couleurs d'aniline pour laques
A colour sample catalogue issued in 1901 by the Elberfeld dye works Farbenfabriken vorm. Friedrich Bayer & Co, for paint and lacquer makers, printed in German, English and French. Its pages are numbered swatch charts pairing each aniline dye's name with a painted block of colour, and the set shows reds, browns, yellows, blues and near-black tones a designer could use as a reference palette.
