Beschreibung

First published in 1814, Werner's Nomenclature of Colours is a taxonomic guide to colour which been cherished by naturalists and anthropologists for over two centuries - not least by Charles Darwin who found it an indispensable tool during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Now these charming, handmade colour swatches have been recreated as a book of 50 postcards. Each card reproduces a colour swatch alongside its original poetic description and is matched with an animal, plant, and mineral example according to Werner's unique scheme. They are printed on high-quality art board card with a matt finish, and each page can be neatly pulled out to send to a friend or use for artistic inspiration. These curious keepsakes will be treasured by artists and scientists alike.

Über den Autor

Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817), was an eminent mineralogist and geologist. In his 1774 book On the External Characteristics of Minerals he put forward a system for the classification of colour in order to describe and classify all characteristics of fossils. Werner's system was known to natural philosophers - other than geologists - and was considered a valuable aid for the organisation of colour into the nineteenth century.
