Prussian blue is a mineral dye, discovered about 1800 and put to
good use by cotton and wool printers as the decades went on.
It produces a variety of blues, maybe a little warmer and certainly more
adaptable to multi-color printing technology than its
rival blue indigo.
The color was novel in the U.S. in the 1840s. Quiltmakers
loved it.
And so do we.
Always looking for reproductions.....
