Description
Nature's Palette: A Colour Reference System from the Natural World
This comprehensive colour reference system brings together a vast collection of colour standards from the natural world, first established by Syme in 1814 and expanded by Werner in 1821. The result is a unique and invaluable resource that has captivated artists and naturalists for centuries.
With over 1000 illustrations in colour, this beautifully crafted book showcases the elegant contemporary illustrations of every animal, plant, and mineral referenced in the original work. Each colour swatch is accompanied by expert text explaining the uses and development of colour standards in relation to zoology, botany, minerology, and anatomy.
