Colour vision : being the Tyndall lectures delivered in 1894 at the Royal Institution
Colour vision, a set of Tyndall lectures given at the Royal Institution in 1894, was written by Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney and published in London by S. Low, Marston & Company in 1895 for a scientific audience. Its pictures are scientific diagrams: curved graphs of spectral sensitivity on gridded paper, and circular charts of the visual field for each eye, with shaded zones and labelled angles that a designer could borrow for technical, data-driven layouts.
