For successful home dyeing use Diamond dyes [microform]

1900 · [S.l. : s.n.] · 4 pictures

A late nineteenth-century trade booklet for Diamond Dyes, a home dyeing product, probably issued by a retailer in St. Catharines, Ontario, and aimed at household users, with a 1900 date and no named author. The pictures mix a dyeing advertisement showing a woman at a chair and a black star-and-ribbon cover, with a text page of health advice for women and instructions headed Before Putting the Goods into the Dye Bath. A designer could take the dense black-and-white ornament and the vintage advertising typography as period reference.
