Charpentier, Augustin, -1769, University College, London. Library Services · 1888 · Paris : librairie J.-B. Ballière et Fils · 20 pictures

A French physiology treatise on light and colour, written by Augustin Charpentier and published in Paris in 1888 by Balliere et Fils for students and researchers of the eye. Its pictures are plain black-line graphs plotting sensation intensity, perception distance and spectral response curves against scales and colour labels such as Bleu, Vert and Rouge, giving a designer clean diagram forms, rising and falling curves, and a restrained palette of ruled axes.
