Fabrique de Maneres Colorantes Specialites pour l'Impression & la Teinture | Farbenfabrik Spezialitaten fur Kattundruckereien & Farbereien | Manufacturers in Colours & special products in Calico printing & dyeing. Oblong 12mo, 10 X 14cm, pp.[ii], 25 mounted calico samples, Wacker & Schmitt, Alsace, (1870s.?)

Very attractive colour samples printed on indigo background. Loosely roped into dark blue cloth, titled in white on the front (rather rubbed). Endpapers a little soiled, but the calico samples in splendid condition. A very good copy.

I have given the cover-title, but there is also a title-page reading: 'Couleurs enlevage sur Indigo | Aetzfarben auf Kupenblau | Discharge Colours on Indigo.' Underneath, a contemporary hand has written 'Chromate & Chlorate'.
