Blue paper boards with white lettering white and illustrated dust jacket xviii 467 pp. 7 color 178 bw plates. "This work constitutes the first enquiry into the history of dyeing embracing its development from prehistory to the present day. Taking as a startling point the prime colors based on mineral pigments used by Paleolithic Man the author used by Paleolithic Man the author arrives at the artificial dyestuffs created by the near-miraculous synthesese of these last hundred years of chemical progress. This study takes into account various highpoints: the ancient extra-European civilizations both East and West; the Classical world of Ancient Greece and Rome; the Middle Ages; the Renaissance; the Enlightenment. These periods are examined in the light of documents many published here for the first time opening new and surprising horizons not only for the general reader but to experts in the chemistry of dyeing as well. Without repeating the commonplace that this publication fills a long-felt need it is our firm opinion that this study which opens up the practically unexplored field of technological evolution will serve to encourage and help new studies in this fascinating sector of the History of Chemistry." - dust jacket description.
