The colour and shade of dyed textiles were once as much an
indicator of social class or position as the fabric itself and for
centuries the recipes used by dyers were closely guarded secrets.
The arrival of synthetic dyestuffs in the middle of the nineteenth
century opened up a whole rainbow of options and within 50 years
modern dyes had completely overturned the dyeing industry. From
pre-history to the current day, the story of dyed textiles in
Western Europe brings together the worlds of politics, money, the
church, law, taxation, international trade and exploration,
fashion, serendipity and science. This book is an introduction to a
broad, diverse and fascinating subject of how and why people
coloured textiles. A fresh review of this topic, this book brings
previous scholars' work to light, alongside new discoveries and
research.
