Excerpt from The Photography of Coloured Red Objects This book represents an attempt to put clearly the theory underlying the photography of coloured objects, and the application of that theory to those branches of practice which are of the most immediate importance. The need for such a book has been impressed upon me by my daily correspondence, and I have hopes that it may serve as a kind of text-book of the subject for many of my friends. While not employing purely scientific nomenclature and phraseology, I have made no attempt to be "practical," believing as I do, that the application of an ounce of accurate knowledge is worth a ton of unreasoning practice. I have also made no pretence as to being unbiassed, I have frankly discussed the products of my own firm, but I hope that the loss of generalisation caused by this procedure will be compensated by the advantage to be gained from definite information. It would not be possible, for instance, usefully to discuss the distribution of sensitiveness in "red-sensitive plates," whereas it is quite possible to discuss the distribution of sensitiveness in any particular plate. I am also likely to be biassed in argument, but I have not allowed myself to be consciously biassed, and have tried to be as fair as possible. I am very much obliged to many friends for the services chronicled below. Chapter VI. on "Photography for Reproduction," was written by Mr. A. J. Newton.

In the ten years since publication of the second edition of Heinrich Zollinger's "Color Chemistry", significant trends in colorant research and application have become important. Particular emphasis is given to the discussion of the synthesis, properties, and application of pigments.

"The catalogue ... is truly excellent and makes an important contribution to the study of Greek Art." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review "An overwhelming volume. The subject matter ... is described in great detail in nine chapters. Essential." --Choice This catalogue documents a major exhibition at the Getty Villa that was the first ever to focus on ancient Athenian terracotta vases made by techniques other than the well-known black- and red-figure styles. The exhibition comprised vases executed in bilingual, coral-red gloss, outline, Kerch-style, white ground, and Six's technique, as well as examples with added clay and gilding, and plastic vases and additions. The Colors of Clay opens with an introductory essay that integrates the diverse themes of the exhibition and sets them within the context of vase making in general; a second essay discusses conservation issues related to several of the techniques. A detailed discussion of the techniques featured in the exhibition precedes each section of the catalogue. More than a hundred vases from museums in the United States and Europe are described in depth.
