The guide for piece-dyeing
A trade manual on piece-dyeing published in New York in 1889 by John Wiley & Sons, written by F. W. Reisig for dyers and textile finishers. The first picture shows faded tan triangle swatches in two columns, and the second shows numbered colour swatches, Nos. 81 to 100, arranged as stacked triangles in reds, blues, oranges, greens, browns and blacks, a designer could use these as a reference for colour sequences and tonal ranges.
