Krátky popis
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. In the late 1790's Abraham
Gottlob Werner devised his own standardised colour scheme, which
allowed the writer to describe even the subtlest of chromatic
differences with consistent terminology. His scheme was then
adapted by an Edinburgh flower painter, Patrick Syme, who traced
the actual minerals described by Werner, and used them to create
the colour charts found in the book.In the pre-photographic age,
almost all visual details had to be captured using the written
word, and scientific observers could not afford any ambiguity in
their descriptions. These included Charles Darwin, for whom
Werner's Nomenclature was an indispensable tool during his seminal
voyage on the Beagle. Werner's Nomenclature of Colours is a
charming artefact from the age of explorers, which continues to be
treasured by artists and scientists alike.
