Sobre este artículo
London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. Ltd.,, 1935. First edition, first impression, presented by the published and Anglo-Saxon scholar Kenneth Sisam (1887-1971) to Richard Stephen Creed (1898-1964), a physiologist, on behalf of the Oxford University Press. A loosely inserted 1935 letter from Sisam, a friend and colleague of Tolkien, requests Creed's opinion on the book, ahead of recommending the purchase of the American rights. A manuscript note recording Creed's (favourable) response is also loosely inserted: "It is well written, well translated, and full of good matter... I should think, therefore, that it is a more helpful proposition for an American than for an English publisher... by no means all American scientists can read German". Here, David Katz (1884-1953), an experimental psychologist, explores the psychology of colour, along with its application to problems of painting, photography, and architecture. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Half-tone photographic plate, tables and diagrams in the text. Minimal bumping and toning, minor foxing to edges and contents; light creasing, rubbing and toning to unclipped jacket, short closed tear to upper edge and blue crayon marks to lower edge of rear panel,: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
