Alizarine ink

Alizarine ink

Alizarine ink was created in 1855 by Professor Leonhardi of Dresden, by adding Alazarin dye (derived from the root of the madder plant) to conventional iron gall ink. This added an attractive coloration to the ink, which was quite popular until it was replaced by more modern chemical inks. [Forty Centuries of Ink, by David N. Carvalho. http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/tech/printing/FortyCenturiesofInk/chap13.html]
