The invention of Mauveine by Perkin in 1856 led to a revolution in the world of textile
dyeing. In the second half of the 19th century, natural dyes were quickly replaced by newly developed synthetic dyes which resulted in a bright palette of colours. The synthetic dyes were not only cheaper to produce, but also easier to apply on textiles due to new dyeing mechanisms. As a result, production costs decreased tremendously and brilliantly dyed textiles became available to the larger public. The introduction of synthetic dyes had a strong impact in fashion; in addition, these colourants were also used as stains on furniture, as inks and in paints.
In this publication, the development of these vivid colourants is presented. It brings together information about the history of synthetic dyes, including the first attempts, the so-called semi-synthetic dyes, and presenting the most relevant dyes and dye classes, such as nitro dyes, tri-arylmethanes, azo dyes, xanthenes, sulfur dyes, synthetic alizarin and synthetic indigo. It contains a wealth of information regarding the numerous synonyms, trade names, manufacturers and patents. International trade and competition, which was fierce, are discussed. The chemistry behind the synthetic dyeing is explained, including new dyeing technologies developed. The application of dyes and their fastness properties are also presented. An overview of analytical techniques used for characterisation is given. Many case studies are included, expressing the importance of the dyes and the creativity of mankind when applying these colourants.
As such, this publication can be seen as a colourful journey through history, relevant for conservators, curators, historians, chemists and all who are interested in the history and development of synthetic dyes.

About the Author
Prof. van Bommel (1968) is full professor of conservation science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Faculty of Humanities, Amsterdam school of Heritage, Memory and Material Culture (AHM), Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage (C&R) and at the Faculty of Science, Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS), Analytical Chemistry. From this unique position at two faculties, he bridges science and conservation. Before this appointment, he worked as (senior) scientist and program manager at the Netherlands institute for cultural heritage.
Van Bommel’s main research focus is on material change of a wide range of heritage objects (paintings, furniture, plastics, paper, textiles, metal, glass & ceramics) with a special attention to natural and synthetic dyes. He investigates chemical composition and material change, aiming to understand the original appearance of heritage objects, and to develop mitigation and preservation strategies for cultural heritage display, management and conservation. This involves the use of advanced analytical methods, studying historical sources as a basis for model systems and historically informed reconstructions, and the development of visualisation techniques to show the presumed original appearance of objects of art. Common ground in all his projects is the development and application of a wide variety of analytical techniques to characterise material changes and understand degradation mechanisms. He has been awarded several national and international funded projects and published over 125 peer-reviewed papers, chapters, books and conference papers in both science and cultural heritage journals, and has contributed to museum catalogues and popular science publications.
Ing. Matthijs de Keijzer (1952) worked as a senior conservation scientist at the Heritage Laboratory of the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands in Amsterdam. Following a successful career in analytical chemistry in various industries, he turned his attention to the study of works of art. Working in interdisciplinary teams, his research interest is the microscopic and microchemical analysis of pigments on various cultural heritage objects to solve conservation and restoration problems. In the last decade of the 20th century his research was focussed on the history of the modern pigments of that era. Since 2003, he is involved in the project ´Early Synthetic Organic Dyes´. This project is based on a selection of well-known synthetic organic dyes, covering all dye classes and is focused on the period 1856–1914. His contribution in this project was to collect information by studying the original historical literature sources, including the international patent literature. He is an expert on early and modern synthetic pigments and dyes and their use in various techniques and has published and lectured widely in these fields. He lectured at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the University of Amsterdam, the George Enescu National University of Arts in Iasi and the University of Gothenburg. He is also co-author of the book Pigmenten en Bindmiddelen (Pigments and Binding media).

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
