A French-language treatise on the art of dyeing by J. B. Dumas, published in Paris in 1846. It opens with the chemistry and sources of coloring matters (indigo, orchil, safflower, cochineal, madder, logwood, weld, fustic, turmeric and others), then covers mordanting, wool preparation, dyeing of wool, silk and cotton, and printing on fabric and wool, with recipes and proportions. It ends with Adrianople (Turkey) red dyeing, including a cost table for dyeing 200 pieces of calico in Switzerland.
