Ciba Review. By the Swiss dye manufacturer, Chemische Industrie Basel. The company published a booklet series, on dyes, on textiles which could be dyed, and on related, related being very very loosely defined, subjects. Each is about 40 pages long with several articles on the general subject of the issue and with many small black and white illustrations. The tone is semi-scholarly; articles are mostly by academics but designed for the general reader; with bibliographies. These are the original publications by Ciba, not the modern reprints.
