February 1876 issue of The Textile Colourist, a British trade journal on dyeing, calico printing and finishing. It opens with G. H. Underwood's detailed account of the indigo dip-blue styles of calico printing (vat arrangement and working, resist pastes, azure, navy, baft and Greek styles) with printed swatch illustrations. The rest covers lists of 1875-76 British and foreign patents, abstracts of specifications (steaming apparatus, indigo vats, aniline black, wool treatment), a note on Japan wax in sizing, a series of collected printing receipts (many blacks), wool dyeing with aniline colours, and a reader's letter.
