Directions for the use of Diamond dyes [microform] : how to dye more than one hundred colors with Diamond dyes

1900 · [S.l. : s.n.] · 7 pictures

A c.1900 Canadian dye instruction booklet, published by Wells & Richardson of Montreal for home users, giving directions for colouring fabric with Diamond Dyes. Its small line illustrations show a woman with a dog holding a dyed piece of cloth, two women seated at a table in conversation, and a woman sewing by a window, with a title page scene of women dyeing cloth at a wash tub beside a clothesline. A designer could take the simple, sketchy, high-contrast ink style and the everyday domestic scenes as period texture.
