Halbwollfarben für Kleiderfärber = Couleurs sur mi-laine pour teinturiers-dégraisseurs
A 1910 dye sample book issued by the Farbwerke vorm. Meister Lucius & Brüning of Hoechst am Main, printed in German and French for clothes dyers and dry cleaners working with half-wool fabrics. The pictures are rows of small rectangular cloth swatches in deep reds, maroons, and rusty oranges, some with fine vertical stripes and diagonal twill texture, arranged in pairs on plain cream pages. A designer could draw on the tight grid layout and the graded range of warm red-brown tones.
