I just scanned a catalog for the large Chicago stationer Cameron, Amberg & Co. and I'm posting it on archive.org.

 

I thought y'all might like a quick preview of one two-page spread of ink bottles. Those were some amazing graphics.

Dang, that's cool. Thank you.

 

And were copying inks the print inks?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY
