small 8vo. pp. xv, 237, [1] + [2]ads. colour frontis. & 3 plates (1 with overlay). Untrimmed in original blind-stamped cloth, rebacked with spine mounted (spine faded, front free-endpaper replaced, light foxing to plates). First Edition of the English Translation by John Spanton (preceded by E.Martel's translation of 1854) of Chevreul's De la Loi du Contraste simultané des Couleurs (1839), "one of the most influential treatises on colour written during the nineteenth century." (DSB) Chevreul devised his principles less for scientists than for painters, designers, and decorators, and his colour studies had a particularly important impact on the fine arts: "The neo-impressionist painters derived their methods of painting from Chevreul's principles. They found the scientific basis for the division of tones in Chevreul's principles of simultaneous contrast." (DSB) Including sections on tapestry and carpets, colour printing on textiles, and clothing.
