Abstract

Dating from approximately 1895, this picture shows the interior of a Hoechst Company dyestuff laboratory near Frankfurt am Main. At the time, the company produced various coal-tar dyes, such as fuchsine or aniline, at low cost. Hoechst's chemical manufacturing processes were based on coal tar, the byproduct of coke production.
