Fast Shades on Slubbing and Loose Wool with Indigosols... Sol. K. 10 / B [cover title]

Basle [Basel], Durand & Huguenin SA, [1930s?].

Octavo, an 8-panel piece of card folded concertina-style, with the title (in French, English and German) on the verso of the first panel, an 8-page (last leaf blank) tri-lingual 'Dying Method' booklet mounted on the recto of the first panel, and 7 printed panels with attached samples of dyed wool (comprising 6 sections each with 6 large samples of slubbed or twisted wool, and one section with 10 samples of woollen felt), with the specific formula printed next to each sample.

A fine copy of a most attractive display item, with the rubber-stamp of the sole Australasian agent, Norman G. Clark.

The business that Norman Clark founded in 1919 is still in existence; following his death in 1951, his sons incorporated it as Norman G. Clark Pty. Ltd. For this reason, together with the disruptions caused by the Second World War and the immediate post-war period, it is highly likely that this trade catalogue dates back to the 1930s. We purchased this item many years ago from the estate of Dr Hedley Ralph Marston; if you don't know about him, consult the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' without delay.
