Günther Wagners Pelikan Farben : künstlern [i.e. künstlerischen] Wasserfarben

Günther Wagner (Firm) · 1900 · London : G. Wagner · 10 pictures

A colour-swatch catalogue of artists' moist water colours issued in 1900 by the Hanover firm Günther Wagner, published in London, aimed at painters choosing pigments. The pictures are rows of rectangular paint swatches, each labelled with a pigment name and number, arranged by hue from pale yellows through greens, blues, violets, reds, browns and blacks, with one photographed tube label. A designer could take the systematic grid of named colour chips as a model for palette charts, colour key layouts, or swatch-based infographics.
