Tratado instructivo, y práctico, sobre el arte de la tintura : reglas experimentadas y metódicas para tintar sedas, lanas, hilos de todas clases, y esparto en rama
A Spanish dyeing manual by Luis Fernández, printed in Madrid in 1778 by Blas Román, written as a practical guide to tinting silk, wool, thread and esparto. Its pages are engraved plates in horizontal bands, showing workers at benches, tables and vats in a workshop, which a designer could use for studies of early craft labour and workshop layout.
