Colouration in animals and plants
A Victorian natural-history treatise on animal and plant colouration by Alfred Tylor and Sydney Skertchly, published in London by Alabaster, Passmore in 1886 for naturalists debating pattern and markings. Hand-coloured butterfly and moth wings sit beside wood-engraved close-ups of fur, feather and eye-spots, giving designers isolated pattern specimens, banded and striped motifs, and dense hatched grayscale texture.
