Experiments on colour aesthetics [microform] : binary combinations of colours, tints and shades : first and second articles : thesis presented to the University of Toronto for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
A 1909 doctoral thesis on colour aesthetics by F. Louis Barber, presented to the University of Toronto and printed in Toronto, aimed at psychology and art scholars. Its pictures are plain line graphs of colour preference curves for orange, red, yellow and green shades and tints, with one blank title-style page bearing a large W; a designer might take the restrained graph style and sparse black-on-white layout as a model for technical charts.
