Colour vision; being the Tyndall lectures delivered in 1894 at the Royal Institute
Colour vision is a scientific lecture volume by William de Wiveleslie Abney, published in New York by W. Wood & Co. in 1895, drawn from his Tyndall lectures delivered in 1894 at the Royal Institution. The pictures are plain line diagrams and graphs: overlapping wave curves on axes labelled with colour letters, shaded spectral-response curves, a circle with construction lines, and a lens-and-prism optical apparatus. A designer might take their clean, labelled schematic style for technical charts and scientific figures.
