Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Charles Hayter (1761-1835) was a portrait painter and Professor of Perspective to Princess Charlotte of Saxe-Cobourg. Known for his Introduction to Perspective, Drawing, and Painting, Hayter aimed to simplify complex subjects like color theory. His innovative approach to teaching perspective and color theory has been well-received by the artistic community, offering valuable insights for artists and amateurs.
