An encyclopedia entry on the color yellow in dyeing and related arts, from Rees's Cyclopedia. It covers calico-printers' yellows from quercitron bark and weld, with acetate of alumine mordants, and other yellow dyestuffs such as turmeric, fustick, fustet and leaves, barks and roots with alum and tartar. It also describes the Chinese method of dyeing silk with acacia flowers, a yellow made from indigo and spirit of nitre, and pigments used by painters and limners.
