The presentation of the F/12 collection of textiles, kept at the Archives nationale s, provides an opportunity to make known a unique color collection. The Archives nationales preserves the memory of the French central administration in the 18th century through the history of the action taken by the State concerning the color of textiles through the control of their production, and the encouragement of innovation. The textile samples belong to different provinces of the kingdom, and illustrate dyeing trials and dyeing experiments from over two centuries.
