Frankfurt black (pigment) (vegetable black, carbon black, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Artificial black pigment made of the sediment of white wine mentioned in historic documents of the 17th-19th centuries. Frankfurt black was the preferred pigment for making intaglio printing ink. Production of the pigment centered in the vineyard areas east of Frankfurt, Germany in the villages along the banks of the river Main. For unknown reasons, Frankfurt black disappeared after 1900. It is not to be confused with the mixture of bone black and Berlin blue still used as a painting pigment and known as Frankfurt or Parisian black.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Kunstmatig zwart pigment dat werd gemaakt van het sediment van witte wijn en genoemd wordt in historische documenten uit de 17e-19e eeuw. Het was het pigment dat bij voorkeur werd gebruikt voor het maken van diepdrukinkt. De productie van dit pigment was gecentreerd op de wijngebieden ten oosten van Frankfurt in dorpen langs de oevers van de Main. Na 1900 verdween Frankfurts zwart om onbekende redenen. Dit pigment moet niet verward worden met het mengsel van beenzwart en Pruisisch blauw dat nog steeds als schilderpigment gebruikt wordt en ook wel bekend staat als Frankfurts of Parijs zwart.
