Traite des apprets et specialement des tissu de coton blancs, teints et imprimes

1904. DEPIERRE, Joseph. Traite des apprets et specialement des tissu de coton blancs, teints et imprimes. iv, 642 pp, with 127 mounted fabric samples. 8vo, 225 x 150 mm, publisher's cloth. Paris: Librairie Polytechnique Ch. Beranger, 1904. A solid copy of the third edition of one of the many dyeing manuals issued in the early part of the twentieth century. This one is noteworthy for how many of the 127 fabric samples are really attractive. Extremely rare with no listings of the first edition on OCLC, 4 copies in the U.S. of the second edition and only U. Delaware, U. of Chicago and Wayne State in the U.S. Some insignificant foxing and bumping, but to no overall effect.
