Dyes, stains, inks, lacquers, varnishes and polishes
Dyes, stains, inks, lacquers, varnishes and polishes is a technical handbook of trade recipes compiled by Charles Godfrey Leland and published in Chicago in 1899, aimed at craftsmen and home workers who mixed their own finishing materials. The pictures are black-and-white plates of ornamental patterns, such as stencil-like floral borders, geometric diamond and cross motifs, and fleur-de-lis panels, offering a designer hard-edged repeat patterns and border strips suited to stencils, textiles, or linocut work.
