In the version of this article initially published, a composition error in the fourth sentence of the fourth paragraph, now corrected to read, in part, “petrochemical-derived pigments that require chromium-based fixatives,” had “arsenic” in place of “chromium.” The error has been corrected in the html and PDF versions of the article.
