An early 19th century dyer´s handbook
Eva Eis (Kremer Pigmente, Aichstetten) and Almut König (Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, München; Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg)
In Dr. Georg Kremer´s collection of literature, sample books and other historical sources there is a recipe book of unknown origin. The pages are old and worn, covered with ink and traces of colour. This source has never been studied before. The collection of recipes, notes and samples from a dyer can be dated back to the early 19th century.
