Austin is a comprehensive scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the essential aspects of the fur dressing and dyeing industry, focusing on the application of chemical and technical developments to modern practices in fur preparation. The author, a consulting chemist to the fur industry, provides a detailed examination of various fur types, their characteristics, and the complex processes involved in transforming raw pelts into finished products. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the growing significance of the fur dressing and dyeing industry in America, which has eclipsed European practices over recent decades. Austin emphasizes the lack of reliable literature and knowledge concerning fur treatment techniques, intending for his work to serve both as a textbook for professionals and a practical guide for workers in the industry. He outlines the importance of understanding the characteristics and treatment of different furs, the interplay of various chemicals, and the effects of processing on the final quality of fur products. This foundation of knowledge is crucial for those involved in the fur trade, from manufacturers to chemists studying industrial applications.
