An aesthetically pleasing Bauhaus era practical colour guide for painters and ‘other related professions’. Vetter, a painter himself, was also a teacher and this work is drawn from that experience. An advertisement for Pelikan poster colours at the end contains a colour wheel that appears to be modeled after Ostwald’s.
Rare, with OCLC locating just three copies in the US; Harvard, Yale and NYPL. Minor wear, spine a little sun-faded, overall a near fine copy.
