Four colour charts from Le Repetoire Des Planches by Dauthenay.
Published in France in 1909.
French language.
Each sheet shows four tones of a given colour. It then details the origin of the colour’s name, gives synonyms for the the name of the colour in French and other languages and makes remarks on the tone of certain samples. This might be, amongst other things, a comment of the chemical composition, the use of a colour in a well known painting, or the prevalence of a colour in a plant.
Each plate measures 24 x 16 cms or 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.
Condition: Very Good. There is some slight loss to the corners of the plates and some superficial creasing. Also two short closed tears on the top and bottom edges of Laque Brun and a small white spot on Terre Cuit that is a flaw of manufacture. The white surrounds are clean.
