Researches in Colour Vision, a 1913 London scientific treatise by Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney, published by Longmans, Green and Co., setting out experimental work on colour vision and the trichromatic theory for ophthalmologists and physicists. Its pictures are plain line diagrams and graphs: a light-path schematic with a prism and slit, a log-scale plot on a dark ground, spectral sensitivity curves, and stacked shaded-area charts labelled by colour names, offering a designer clear models for technical diagrams and colour-data graphics.
