In 1963, Faber Birren published 'a facsimile edition of what is perhaps the rarest known book in the literature of color'. This second edition is considered almost as rare as the firstProvenance: By descent. Vendor's late husband was descended on his mother's side from noted artist Benjamin West PRA (American, 1738-1820). It is known that West was greatly interested in the discipline of colour theoryDr Alexandra Loske has kindly provided the following comments for inclusion in this catalogue:'This is a very exciting book to appear in a public auction. It may be a short work, but it is one the most influential and beautiful books in Western colour history. The entomologist Moses Harris was the first to introduce detailed colour wheels in English literature on colour, in the late 18th century. This splendid second edition, published posthumously in 1811, is evidence of the increasing interest in colour in the 19th century, and in Enlightenment sources. Only a year earlier the German polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe had published his substantial Zur Farbenlehre (On the Doctrine of Colours), and shortly after the British "Colourman" George Field wrote his first of many books on colour theory. Fewer than ten copies of the first and second editions of Harris's book are recorded. I have inspected almost all of them, and the quality of the hand-coloured plates in this copy is outstanding.'Dr Alexandra Loske, colour historian and author of Colour: A Visual History (2019), University of Sussex and Royal Pavilion & Brighton Museums
