Ueber Licht und Farben. Mit Besonderer Beziehung auf die Farbenlehren Newton's und Goethe's ("On Light and Colors with Special Reference to the Color Teachings of Newton and Goethe")

Berlin: Verlag von Gustav Hempel, 1859. Cloth. Very Good. A solid, well-preserved copy of the 1859 1st edition, professionally re-bound in a light-green cloth, with leather title label to the spine and new endsheets and pastedowns. The original 1859 text bright and crisp and VG, with very light, occasional foxing throughout and very mild staining along the lower-edges of the preliminaries. Octavo, the 3 fold-out plates (plate II is loose) intact and bound-in by the publisher at the rear. Groundbreaking German study of mid-19th century European color theory, including the color theory of both Newton and Goethe.
