An encyclopedia article from The Americana (1903) surveying dyestuffs used to color textile fibers and fabrics. It classifies them as animal dyes (cochineal, kermes, lac, galls), vegetable dyes by plant part (madder, logwood, fustic, quercitron, safflower, saffron, indigo, woad, lichens, weld), and artificial colors (pigments and coal-tar series such as aniline, phenol, azo and anthracene colors). It notes the colors each produces, the fibers it suits, and its permanence or mordant use.
