A nice composite facsimile edition with introductory matter of this neat publication attempting to systemize colors for scientific description. My favorite bits are the examples of plants and animals used to describe the various shades. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Read & Co. presents this new edition of Werner's Nomenclature of Colors. First published in 1814, this small volume comprises a collection of 110 swatches displaying nature's color palette together with their poetical descriptions. In the 18th Century, German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner set out to establish a standard reference guide to colour for use in the general sciences. Scottish flower painter Patrick Syme later enhanced and extended Werner's work to include all of the most common colors or tints that appear in nature, with each color swatch accompanied by examples from the Animal, Vegetable and Mineral Kingdoms. The resulting work was used by many scientists, explorers and anthropologists to further their studies, including Charles Darwin during his time on the HMS Beagle. Werner's Nomenclature of Colors is considered the predecessor of modern systems such as Pantone and has even inspired heritage paint ranges from the likes of Dulux and Farrow & Ball. Read & Co. is republishing this beautiful little volume in a new facsimile edition and has taken great care to reproduce the original text and art for a new generation of artists and scientists.
