First published in 1814, Werner's Nomenclature of Colours is a
taxonomic guide to colour which been cherished by naturalists and
anthropologists for over two centuries - not least by Charles
Darwin who found it an indispensable tool during his voyage on the
HMS Beagle. Now these charming, handmade colour swatches have been
recreated as a box of 50 postcards. Each card reproduces a colour
swatch alongside its original poetic description and is matched
with an animal, plant, and mineral example according to Werner's
unique scheme. These curious keepsakes will be treasured by artists
and scientists alike.
