520    First published in 1814 & expanded in 1821 Syme's edition 
       of 'Werner's Nomenclature of Colours' attempted to 
       establish a universal color reference system to help 
       identify, classify and represent species from the natural 
       world. Werner's set of 54 color standards was enhanced by 
       Patrick Syme with the addition of color swatches and 
       further references from nature, taking the total number of
       hues classified to 110. The resulting resource proved 
       invaluable not only to artists but also to zoologists, 
       botanists, mineralogists and anatomists.  In 'Nature's 
       Palette' this technicolour trove has, for the first time, 
       been enhanced with the addition of illustrations of the 
       animals, vegetables and minerals Werner referenced 
       alongside each color swatch and accompanied by expert text
       explaining the uses and development of color standards in 
       relation to zoology, botany, minerology and anatomy. This 
       fully realized color catalog includes elegant contemporary
       illustrations of every animal, plant or mineral that Syme 
       cited. Readers can see for themselves Tile Red in the Cock
       Bullfinch's breast, Shrubby Pimpernel and Porcelain 
       Jasper; or admire the Berlin Blue that Syme identified on 
       the wing feathers of a Jay, in the Hepatica flower and in 
       Blue Sapphire. Displays of contemporary collector's 
       cabinets of birds, butterflies, eggs, flowers and minerals
       are interspersed at intervals throughout the compendium, 
       with individual specimens color matched to color swatches.
       Still a much-loved reference among artists, naturalists 
       and everyone fascinated by color today, 'Werner's 
       Nomenclature of Colours' finds its fullest expression in 
       this beautiful and comprehensive color reference system.
