History
Authoritative articles on dyes and dyeing from classical antiquity to the present may be found in the journal Ciba Reviews (1937– ). The commemorative volume, Perkin Centenary, London: 100 Years of Synthetic Dyestuffs (1958), contains a chapter on the life and work of Sir William Perkin by J. Read. The article by C. Paine surveys the development of the synthetic-dye-making industry.
E.N. Abrahart, Dyes and Their Intermediates (1968); and H.E. Fierz-David and L. Blangey, Fundamental Processes of Dye Chemistry (1949, Eng. trans. from the 5th Austrian ed. of 1943), are textbooks written from the industrial viewpoint.
