Hi Megan,
Welcome to the anatomic side! I just googled "history of tissue dyes" and a wealth of information popped up including this PDF: www.immunologie-labor.com/cellmarker_files/IET_reagents_07.pdf
all about the discovery of hematoxylin and aniline dyes. The time period you mentioned was the time of these discoveries, so searching for history of hematoxylin or eosin should also get you good hits. Good luck!
