Leçons de chimie appliquée à la teinture
A French technical lecture collection on applied chemistry for dyers, written by M. E. Chevreul and published in Paris by Pichon et Didier in 1829 for practising dyers and students of textile dyeing. Its single plate shows laboratory apparatus in two numbered figures: rows of connected glass vessels and tubes on the upper half, and a second setup of flasks, stands and a burner below, drawn as precise black-line schematics. A designer could take from it the clean, diagrammatic linework and labelled-figure layout typical of early nineteenth-century scientific plates.
