This book presents the main possibilities for manufacturing black and colored inks, essentially from common plants in our regions.
For each color, Elisabeth Dumont presents the corresponding plants, how to recognize them in nature and how to use them: first the historical recipes, which allow a journey into the sometimes very ancient history of ink manufacturing, then the recipes experimented by the author in her workshop and the range of colors obtained.
Additional information on lacquers, the manufacture of a reed pen and the importance of paper in working with vegetable inks completes the work.
