Colour vision is a set of lectures given by William de Wiveleslie Abney at the Royal Institution in 1894 and published in London in 1895 by Sampson, Low, Marston & Company for a general and scientific readership. The pictures are plain line diagrams: polar charts of the visual field for each eye, a wavelength curve with lettered spectral markers, and a labelled optical apparatus with lenses, prisms and mirrors, offering a designer clear schematic forms and fine rules to borrow.
