Abstract
Fifty-six samples of an historic pigment collection were examined. A great number of the pigments are standard colors of the early nineteenth century, such as emerald green, chrome green, Prussian blue, Naples yellow, mummy, and sepia. Many pigments are extended with inert fillers, mainly barytes and gypsum. However some rare or unusual pigments were also detected. Among these are orange antamony sulfide and a green artificial basac copper sulfate of brochantite structure.
