Roberts Beaumont's second edition (1912) of a treatise on the science and technology of textile colouring for woollen, worsted, cotton and silk fabrics. It begins with colour theory, attributes, contrast and harmony, standardization and mixtures. It then covers the application of colour to woven structures: stripes, checks, simple and compound colourings, fancy weaves, combination designs, spotted effects, double cloths, figured and pile fabrics. It has many colour plates of woven samples, many weaving drafts and drawdowns with warp and weft colour-order tables, and an index.
