Description

The art of coloring textiles emerged during the Stone Age with some artifacts dating as far back as 6,000 years ago.1

Until the unintentional discovery of the first synthetic dye mauveine by William Henry Perkin in 1856, the majority of natural dyes were derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources.2

Without proper conservation of an historical artifact, important details can be lost and prevent future research from being successful.
