_Vanderpoel, Emily Noyes._—Color Problems. A Practical Manual for the
Lay Student of Color. With one hundred and seventeen colored plates.
Longmans, Green and Co., New York, London and Bombay. 1903. Small 8vo.,
pp., [i-vi] vii-xv, [1-2] 3-137.
The colored plates of this excellent work illustrate the physics and
psychology of color, color harmonies, and kindred subjects, but have no
relation to color nomenclature.
_Jorgensen, Charles Julius._—The Mastery of Color. A simple and
perfect color system, based upon the spectral colors, for educational
and practical use in the Arts and Crafts. Published by the Author.
Milwaukee, 1906. 8vo., 2 vols., one of text, the other of 22 loose
colored plates contained in double box.
An exceedingly useful work for artists and decorators, but not adapted
to the needs of science. The technical execution of the plates is
exquisite and the colors very fine.
