In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. 'One of the oddest and most beautiful books of the whole century' [McLean] Numerous crible initials, most text in black, but the text interspersed with a plethora of illustrations, diagrams, figures and symbolic elements printed in 4 colours. A self-educated… mathematician and engineer, Byrne 'considered that it might be easier to learn geometry if colours were substituted for the letters usually used to designate the angles and lines of geometric figures. Instead of referring to, say, "angle ABC", Byrne's text substituted a blue or yellow or red section equivalent to similarly coloured sections in the theorem's main diagram' (Friedman). Exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London 1851 with a price of 25 shillings, the work was exceedingly expensive and unaffordable for educators who could have put the new teaching method to practical use. Regardless, it is considered a landmark example of Victorian book production and a technical tour-de-force. Its innovative graphic conception and style prefigures the modernist experiments of the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements, The contemporary appeal remains such that the publisher Kroncker Wallis has initiated a Kickstarter campaign to complete all thirteen books of Euclid in the style of Byrne's production. [Friedman, Color Printing in England 43; Ing, Charles Whittingham Printer, 46; Keynes, Pickering, pp.37, 65; McLean, Victorian Book Design, pp.50-51]. Light shelf/edge wear, occasional offsetting and scattered spotting as typical with issue [but much cleaner than most others], else tight, bright, and unmarred. Full brown calf, gilt lettering at spine, marbeled edges. 4to. [i-Jii-xixI-xxx], 1-1268pp. Illus. (color plates).
