What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon

First edition of Horticultural Colour Chart I and II by The British Colour Council and Robert F. Wilson. 

Unbound as issued in the original publisher's cloth portfolios and slipcases. Complete in two volumes.

A lovely collection of colour plates highlighting colour theory and definitions to standardise colours and hues for textiles industries. The British Colour Council was established in 1931 for this purpose. 

Includes an erratum to Volume II disclaiming the transposition of plates 1 and 64. Replacements were issued and the error has been corrected. 

Both volumes include a seven page introductory text. Volume II includes an inserted isolating view key. 

All the plates have been collated and are complete.
