The principles of colouring in painting

[Delf, Thomas] 1810-1865 · 1885 · London, Winsor and Newton · 15 pictures

A trade catalogue of artists' colourmen, Winsor and Newton of London, issued in 1885 with the instructional text on colour theory likely aimed at amateur and professional painters. Its engravings show boxed paint sets, brushes, and moist water colour pans, drawn plainly with fine hatching, so a designer could use them as clear references for vintage art-supply packaging.
