Werner's Nomenclature of Colours;Adapted to Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Anatomy, and the Arts

This book is for anyone who loves antique books, dabbles in the arts or just loves the written word. The use of words to describe colors is magnificent here. It’s expensive, imo, but I even thought of framing at one pages, it’s so beautiful.

Very helpful book with colours for watercolour painting.

To improve scientific ilustration

Even though it was originally published 200 years ago. The organization of colors (and the reasons behind it) is great! I would recommend this book to a variety of readers: casual, arty, coffee table - ers, science - y - everyone. I have given several copies to friends already. It was well packaged, came on time and is like the picture.

Not the book pictured, nor even a nicely printed edition, but a low resolution print to order amazon copy on poor qualty paper. Very disappointed, although the book remains a classic. So, depends what you are after I guess. It was not what I expected, as an edition, from the images or description.
