A 1816 London dyeing manual by Thomas Packer, published by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, written as a practical introduction to dyeing linen, cotton, silk and wool for tradespeople and practitioners. The only picture here is a Getty Center Library bookplate-style frontispiece showing a robed figure in a doorway holding a folded cloth, with the library's caption printed beneath, so it offers little evidence about the dye processes described.
