A short encyclopedia entry on indigo from the early 19th-century Encyclopaedia Perthensis. It describes the final stages of preparing the dye: agitating the vat, settling, draining, and drying the cakes. It also covers uses in laundering, painting and dyeing, the main producing regions (East Indies, Carolina, St Domingo, Mexico, Guatemala), and ways to test quality and detect adulteration.
