Divided into thematic chapters, it uncovers new data from the vast  historical heritage of natural dyestuffs from a range of European  cities, to present new historiographic insights for the understanding  of this technology. Through a sort of anatomic dissection, the book  explores the study and cultivation of dye-plants in botanical gardens  and plantations, and the tacit values hidden in dyeing workshops,  factories, laboratories, or national and international exhibitions. It  metaphorically submits the natural dyestuffs of the eighteenth and  nineteenth centuries to a series of systematic historical tests, and  traces back the circulation of those sources of colours through  colonial spaces, dye works, cross-cultural networks, schools of  artistic design, and science-based industries for the making of  synthetic colorants. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eColouring Textiles\u003c\/em\u003e contributes to a better understanding of the  role of natural dyestuffs in the processes of industrialization in  Western Europe. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Historians of science and technology, historians of  chemistry, philosophers, economic historians, professional chemists,  arts and crafts historians, and cultural anthropologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792370222\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1081-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 246\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378514256012,"sku":"9780792370222","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792370222.jpg?v=1772024413","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792370222","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
