Manuscripts
An extensively annotated extra-illustrated work in two volumes: a chemist's working copy of a significant treatise on the development of chemical procedures of dyeing textiles. Volume 1 contains 544 pages with 39 textile samples; volume 2 contains 646 pages with one folded engraving, illustrations, and 34 textile samples. Both volumes contain annotations on separate sheets, with some intertextual annotations as well. In addition, there are twelve cloth samples of indigo dyeing, with detailed manuscript notes on the samples, which are unique to this copy of the work by Schützenberger. The volumes are bound with contemporary calf spines, marbled paper boards; there is some foxing and slight staining on a small number of pages.
