Théorie et vendu pratique des couleurs 1920 PRANG Bonnie Snow, Hugo Froehlich ORIGINAL Hc

Rare and ORIGINAL hardcover “Theory and Practice Of Color” published 1920 by The PRANG Company. Third Edition. By Bonnie Snow and Hugo Froehlich. Nine complete plates of colour charts - hand painted! - with protective tissue paper overlay (one tissue loose). Modern reprints do not include the fantastic, bright colour swatches and rainbow frontispiece.

Very Good+ for a 104 year old book. Light brown cloth (or “gray yellow orange”, according to PRANG hues) with blue titles/border. Heavily rubbed top corners and shelf-rubbed bottom boards. Area at right bottom cover was once water logged - no stains or smell or mold. Tiny circle of spine paper missing. Cracked front hinge; tight binding and all pages. Previous owners' names written inside board; no other writing. Light foxing along some page gutters. The best copy I've seen of the two available for sale and miles better than reprints.
