A trilingual German, French and English sample book issued in 1900 by the Farbwerke vorm. Meister Lucius & Brüning dye works at Hoechst am Main, showing dyed cotton yarn swatches for dyers and textile trade buyers. The first two pages are long vertical strips of numbered dyed skeins in blues, purples, greens, oranges, reds and blacks, with a bird's-eye view of the Hoechst factory complex on the third, which a designer could use for colour palettes or industrial reference.
