I got this for our daughter, an artist, but got caught up in its pages so completely that I'm going to have to order another copy for my own home. Because how else will I learn that the color I am struggling to identify and describe is "the inside wing feathers of the kittiwake"? Or that that same glowing white-gray is also the color of the human eyeball?
So often I am disappointed by the print quality or the feel of the paper of a book. This edition exceeds my expectations. The paper is beautiful, the printing an accurate reproduction of its early-1800s original.
I confess I haven't yet cross-referenced the beautifully reproduced color squares to see if they are altered by the antique-ivory paper. Another good reason to buy myself a copy of this book. (That white-gray did seem to be a close likeness of my own eyeball viewed in winter light.)
Reportedly Charles Darwin took a copy of this book with him to use as reference on his voyage of discovery. I like to think he appreciated it as much as I do.
