Ajouter au panierEtat : Very good. First edition. First edition in English with the color wood engravings by Edmund Evans. Routledge first published Spantons translation in 1857 with merely one color plate, but for subsequent editions he had the present attractive blocked sunburst binding created and charged Edmund Evans to make color wood engra…vings (not chromolithographs). Most of the prints in the book illustrate the effects of neighboring colors on the appearance of a given hue. Because all the colors were shown in discrete relatively large areas, not overlapping with any other color, these illustrations were particularly suited to Evanss method of color printing" (Friedman, Color Printing, n.106). The text was first published in 1857. Despite Chevreuls authorization of the translation, the text is shorter and condensed than the first translation, but this is the first edition to include the plates and a chapter on military clothing. Cf. Birren on Chevreul, pp.30-3. This edition not in Birren Collection, Herbert, or Indergand. Orig. blue cloth blocked in gilt & red in very fine condition. Chevreul, Michael Eugene. (illustrateur).
