Why it matters
Vanderpoel transformed observations of objects and environments into structured fields of color decades before similar visual strategies became canonical. The facsimile expands both the history and methods represented in the collection.

Best for color researchers, artists, graphic designers, and information designers who value careful observation and unusual historical sources.
What you’ll learn
