A long French encyclopedia article on printing textiles, from the Dictionnaire des Arts et Manufactures et de l'Agriculture. It opens with a history of cloth printing from antiquity through the 18th-century French and English calico industries. It then covers the chemistry of thickeners, albumin fixatives, mordants, madder dyeing, Turkey (Adrianople) red, indigo and other colours, with recipes. The later chapters describe printing methods (hand block, Perrotine, roller machines) and auxiliary apparatus such as steaming, drying, padding and silk degumming equipment, illustrated with many engraved figures.
