What I claim is:
1. A process of preserving fibrous material which comprises treating the degummed'matem rial with a mordant comprised of a heated aqueous solution of which approximately 2% is tannic acid, treating the mordanted material with a heated aqueous solution of which approximately 1% is tartar emetic, and thereafter immersing the material thus treated in an aqueous solution containing potassium bichromate of approximately 1% concentration, copper sulphate of approximately 3% concentration,-andacetic acid of approximately 2% concentration at a temperature 01 approximately 200 F. for approximately 20 minutes.
2. A process of-preserving fibrous material which comprises treating the degummed material with an aqueous solution of tannlc acid,
, In the present process of treating fibrous material, I employ the same mordanting process and fixative treatment therefor, i. e., the aqueous solution of tannic acid followed by the aqueous solution oi. tartar emetic, as disclosed and claimed in my copending application ,Serial No. 624,139, and set forth-in the preceding paragraph, but in combination with a following treatment for the material, which comprises immersing the material, treated as above, in an aqueous solution containing potassium bichromate of approximately 1% concentration at a temperature of approximately 200 F. for approximately 20 minutes. I have also found that the addition of 'copper sulphate of approximately 3% concentration and acetic acid (thirty degrees) of approximately 2% concentration to the oxidizing treating the material thus treated with an aqueous solution of tartar emetic, and thereafter immersing the material thus treated in an aqueous solution containing potassium. bichromate, copper sulphate, and'acetic acid.
3. A process of preserving fibrous material which comprises treating the degummed material with an aqueous solution of tannic acid, treating the material thus treated with an aqueous solution of tartar emetic, and thereafter immersing the material thus treated in an aqueous solution containing potassium bichromate 0t approximately 1% concentration at a temperature of approximately 200 F. for approximately 20 minutes.
4. An article composed of fibrous material containing a mordant comprised of tannic acid and tartar emetic, and an oxidant preservative comprised of potassium bichromate, copper sulphate, and acetic acid.
5. An article of manufacture composed of fibrous material containing a tannic acid and tartar emetic mordant, and a potassium b'ichro- 1o mate oxidant.
