PRE-PANTONE

As a fan of color and its applications, this book sent me into high design nerd territory.

Prior to the now well-known Pantone Color Guide, an 800 page guide to color was created by a person identified as "A. Boogert". What is most amnot well azing about this guide, aside from the fact that it is over 270 years old, is that each hue and tone variant is also explained in seemingly perfect handwritten script.

The work was not widely circulated until recently, but can nowvbe seen in its entirety (and in high resolution) by viewers worldwide here.
