Beschreibung

Tall thick 8vo. 8.5 x 11 x 5 in. 24 leaves (hand numbered in ink), w/ 291 yarn, fabric, and woven samples mounted either by glue, or staple onto all of the thick card stock leaves, w/ linen hinges at gutter margin, 24 manuscript explanatory leaves on blue-ruled paper, each w/ heading in manuscript, and all leaves w/ printed letterhead of Philadelphia Textile School. Original split-pin "Common Sense" black cloth binder, w/ steel slide and brass brackets holding down pins at rear gutter margin, wear to fore-edges of pastedowns, manuscript ownership label mounted front pastedown (minor edgewear, rubbing, slight bumping to corners), still VG exemplar. This dyeing sample manuscript documents the results of lab studies and experiments by Kent while attending the storied Philadelphia Textile School in the Department of Chemistry & Dyeing. The samples represented within this volume encompass cottons, cotton & wool blends, treated & untreated silks, ungummed silks, bleached & unbleached cottons, and more. He has detailed the results scouring textile fibres, bleaching, dye classification, applications of acid dyes, testing colour fastness, as well as testing basic and substantive dyes on cotton, wool, and silk yarn and threads. Also included are studies on sulphur dyes, logwood dyes, followed by wash and light tests. Kent (1913-1999) was a New Mexico born chemist whose family originally had moved from Illinois & Pennsylvania, studied at the Philadelphia Textile School (now Philadelphia University). After graduating he was recruited by C. Scott Althouse (1880-1970) himself a graduate of the PTS and who often drew students from there for his family Althouse Chemical Co. based in Reading, PA. Althouse Chemical Co. specialized in superior quality dyes, and pioneered a number of popular synthetic fabrics, and by the 1950's Kent had become the Althouse Co.'s leading salesman and dyestuff's demonstrator. Althouse was acquired in 1954 by Crompton & Knowles Corp. of Worcester, MA, and would continue to operate for decades as a leader in specialty dyes.
