300 Color Plates 298 pp. 8.5 x 11 Hardback in New condition.

A color journey from Turkey to India and beyond. Koekboya is a Turkish word. Literally translated it means root-dye. It is used in Turkey for all kinds of natural dyes, whether they are actually made from roots ... flowers, leaves tubers or seeds. Even insect dyes are included in the Turkish expression Koekboya. In this book almost 100 dye plants from Turkey and around the world are introduced on a scientific basis: their botany, their qualities for dyeing, their cultural and historical importance, and - in light of the world-wide Renaissance of natural dyeing - aspects concerning their reintroduction for practical use or as a hobby Dr Bohmer and his associates, Prof Dr Nevin Enez and Dr Recep Karadag teach on the Fine Arts Faculty of Marmara University Istanbul.
