Softcover in red pictorial wraps. Light wear with minor peeling to tail. 147 pp. Includes reproductions of black-and-white and full-color images of textile patterns, historical photographs, and other related material. Fully titled Coloring the Nation: The Turkey Red Printed Cotton Industry in Scotland c.1840-1940, this book explores the history of the "turkey red" dyeing process, from popular businesses and the designs, to the processes and international markets. From the back panel: "[40,000 textile samples] have recently been photographed for the Colouring the Nation project which challenges the perception that Scotland's industrial past was dominated by heavy industry. The project is a collaboration between National Museums Scotland and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh."
