The practical ostrich feather dyer
The Practical Ostrich Feather Dyer is a trade manual compiled by Alexander Paul and Morris Frank and published in Philadelphia in 1888, written for feather dyers and dry-goods workers. Its plates are hand-coloured sample pages showing dyed ostrich plumes labelled with shade names such as cream, lavender, garnet and medium blue, each keyed to a page number in the text.
