An encyclopedia article on dyeing from The Americana (1903) that surveys the preparation of cotton, linen, silk and wool fibers, dyeing machinery, and the role of substantive and adjective dyes and mordants. It lists six methods of dyeing and gives 76 numbered typical recipes organized by color (reds, blues, yellows and oranges, greens, purples, blacks, drabs, browns) and by fiber. It closes with references to period dyeing manuals.
