Abstract
As one might expect, following Perkin’s discovery, many industrial dyers and chemists began systematic searches for additional aniline colors by mixing aniline with just about anything they could think of Among these experimenters was François Emmanuel Verguin (1814–1864) who, as early as 1858, discovered a red dye, later called aniline red, made by treating aniline with anhydrous stannous chloride.
