He thus distinctly describes the process: — " Garments," he says, " are painted in i^gypt in a wonderful manner, the white cloths being first smeared, not with coloui-s, but with drugs which absorb colour. These applications do not appear upon the cloths, but when the cloths are immersed in a cauldron of hot dyeing liquor, they are taken out the moment after painted.
