  • Fadeometer, 1953, used to test light fastness of dyes, in the Atelier de Teinture or Dyeing Workshops, at the Gobelins Manufactory, a historic tapestry workshop, at Le Mobilier National, which commissions and conserves state furniture, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. In this machine, colours are exposed to ultraviolet radiation for 46 hours, accelerating their aging to determine their strength. The dyeing workshop was founded by Colbert in 1665, when a limited palette of natural dyes were used. In 1838 Eugene Chevreul created his chromatic circle, which is now digitised and used for mixing synthetic dyes. Picture by Manuel Cohen

  • High angle view of a tanner, climbing from a pit; his legs and arms are still dripping with poppy flower dye whose colour blends with the sunlight, Chouara Tannery, Fez, Morocco, pictured on February 25, 2009 in the evening. The Chouara tannery is the largest of the four ancient tanneries in the Medina of Fez where the traditional work of the tanners has remained unchanged since the 14th century. It is composed of numerous dried-earth pits where raw skins are treated, pounded, scraped and dyed. Tanners work in vats filled with various coloured liquid dyes derived from plant sources. Colours change every two weeks, poppy flower for red, mint for green, indigo for blue, chedar tree for brown and saffron for yellow. Fez, Morocco's second largest city, and one of the four imperial cities, was founded in 789 by Idris I on the banks of the River Fez. The oldest university in the world is here and the city is still the Moroccan cultural and spiritual centre. Fez has three sectors: the oldest part, the walled city of Fes-el-Bali, houses Morocco's largest medina and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site;  Fes-el-Jedid was founded in 1244 as a new capital by the Merenid dynasty, and contains the Mellah, or Jewish quarter; Ville Nouvelle was built by the French who took over most of Morocco in 1912 and transferred the capital to Rabat.
