A German-language treatise on the physiology of sight and colour perception, published in Leipzig in 1877 by Emil du Bois-Reymond, a physiologist, for ophthalmologists and researchers studying vision. The plate shows colour swatches in a row above two pairs of stippled fields of orange, red, pink and green dots arranged in grids, with figure labels, suggesting how a designer might study colour-dot patterns and graded tonal sampling for textures and halftone-like effects.
