Handbuch der Färberei und der damit verwandten : vorbereitenden und vollendenden Gewerbe : Enthaltend die Färberei der Gebräuchlicheren ...
A German dyeing-trade handbook by A. Ganswindt, published in Weimar by B.F. Voigt in 1889, covering dyeing and its related preparatory and finishing trades for working dyers and manufacturers. The four pictures are technical engravings of machines: a printing or calendering press with crank handles, a cast-iron base machine with a wheel, a geared upright engine with a flywheel and treadle, and a vat with a stirring mechanism. A designer could take their precise, diagrammatic line work and the dense hatching used to render cast metal and machinery.
