The dyeing of chrome leather with the dyestuffs of the Cassella Color Company.
A trade booklet issued by the Cassella Color Company of New York in 1900 for leather dyers and tanners, showing how chrome leather takes its dyestuffs. The pictures are rectangular swatches of dyed leather with printed captions naming each dye and percentage, shown in blacks, orange and red. A designer could take from them the range of grain and sheen that dyed leather can hold, and the deep, even colour that chrome tanning gives.
