Traité des matières colorantes : comprenant leurs applications à la teinture et à l'impression et des notices sur les fibres textiles, les épaississants et les mordants ...
This is a French treatise on dyestuffs by chemist Paul Schützenberger, published in Paris by V. Masson in 1867 for dyers, printers and textile manufacturers. Its plates are numbered fabric swatches showing striped cloth dyed or printed with mordants and dyes such as chrome orange, chrome yellow and rosolane purple. A designer might take the stripe rhythms, narrow vertical bands in brown, ochre, black and violet on pale ground, as simple period-accurate patterns.
