Prato: Ditta Ruggero Benelli, ca. 1900. First edition. Hardcover. 27.5 x 13 cm. Salesman's sample advertising display for Super-Iride, 48 dyed sample mounted, eight panels bound accordion style, each panel as noted previously, folds out to approximately 40 inches when displayed. Color plates mounted on first and last panels with 48 dyed fabric sample in a wide range of colors, lettering in black and red. Super-Iride solid dyes are Azo synthetic, more stable than vegetable, and/or aniline dyes provide a distinct advantage for coloring wool, cotton and silks as they are highly resistant to sun and repeated washing. This brand is perhaps best known for the advertising poster of a looming red devil drawing forth a rainbow of color from a wooden barrel depicted here in the first panel. Scuffing to extremities, back cover with, slight loss of shagreen at back cover. Panels are faux-diced shagreen, gilt lettering first panel, two brass rivets front cover for hanging the display. Very good. Item #20560
