Science's powerful companion: A.W. Hofmann's investigation of aniline red and its derivatives (1992)

Description “The discovery of synthetic dyestuff has often been considered as the turning point towards much closer linkage between chemistry and the manufacture of useful products. How this occurred can best be seen in the case of August Wilhelm Hofmann, who for two decades after 1845 was director of the Royal College of Chemistry in London. As the teacher of many pioneers of the dye industry, Hofmann can be considered its first scientific leader.”
