A short 1880 article from Science discussing the commercial rivalry between synthetic aniline dyes and natural madder dye. It traces how aniline was derived from coal tar via naphtha, benzole and nitro-benzole, lists early aniline colors, and describes madder cultivation and Turkey red prints. The author argues that limited aniline supply and high prices leave madder secure as the dye of popular, cheap goods.
