Publisher's Synopsis
""A Nomenclature of Colors for Naturalists and Compendium of Useful Knowledge for Ornithologists"" is a book written by Robert Ridgway in 1885. The book is a guide to identifying and naming colors found in nature, specifically for use by naturalists and ornithologists. The book contains 186 color samples, each with a name and description of the color's characteristics. The colors are arranged in a systematic and logical order, making it easy for the reader to locate and identify a particular color. In addition to the color samples, the book also includes a compendium of useful information for ornithologists, including a list of bird species and their scientific names, as well as a glossary of terms related to bird anatomy and behavior. The book is considered an important reference work for naturalists, ornithologists, and artists alike, and has been reprinted numerous times since its original publication in 1885.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
