Description

Frank Sherry wrote as a practical dyer of thirty years' experience, and his Guide is a working book rather than a treatise: receipt after receipt for wool, shoddy and cotton, the preparation of the bath, the mordants, the order of operations, and a full description of the dye-stuffs and chemicals then in use — including the extraction of cotton from wool. It is a precise record of textile dyeing on the eve of the synthetic revolution.

Please note: the original edition was interleaved with two hundred and fifty samples of dyed cloth, physically mounted on the page. A print facsimile cannot reproduce them; this edition contains the complete text and receipts.

This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1884 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
