Image title
Ignaz Schiffermuller (2 October 1727 - 21 June 1806) was an Austrian naturalist mainly interested in Lepidoptera. In his Versuch eines Farbensystems (1772), Schiffermuller addressed the need for a standardised nomenclature with which to describe the countless colours of nature. The work contains an attractive full-page engraving with a colour circle, inspired by the optical theory of Father Louis Bertrand Castel (1688-1757) and hand-tinted with twelve colours continuously shading into one another.
