Description
Excerpt from The Chemistry of Pigments
The authors have in the following pages endeavoured to indicate the chemical relationships, composition and properties of most of the better-known pigments. During recent years they have given a great deal of attention to the examination of painters' colours, and have from time to time found some difficulty in obtaining reliable information on the subject. This led to a considerable amount of work in obtaining and examining specimens of pigments, and it was felt that the information thus gained might usefully be published.
Speaking generally, the plan of the authors has been to treat the various pigments in groups, allied chemically rather than chromatically. Motives of convenience have in some cases led to a modification of this scheme. The methods of manufacture of colours have been considered rather from the chemical than the technical point of view; it is not suggested by the authors that the present work is in any sense a manual of colour-making.
