Diamin- und Diaminechtfarben auf Baumwoll-Stückware = Diamine and Diamine fast colours on cotton piece-goods
A dye sample book issued in 1900 by Leopold Cassella & Co. of Frankfurt am Main, showing bilingual German and English swatches of Diamine and Diamine fast colours on cotton piece goods for dyers and textile trade buyers. The pages are grids of rectangular colour patches in rows, each labelled with a number, arranged by dyeing method, and a designer could use them as a reference for historical dye palettes such as navy, khaki, maroon and near-black.
