维尔纳的《色彩命名法》首次出版于1814年，是一本色彩分类指南，两个多世纪以来一直受到自然学家和人类学家的珍视——尤其是查尔斯•达尔文，他在贝格尔号的航行中发现它是不可缺少的工具。现在，这些迷人的、手工制作的色块已被重新制作成50张一盒的明信片。每张卡片都再现了一个色块及其原始的诗意描述，并根据维尔纳的独特方案与动物、植物和矿物实例相匹配。

First published in 1814, Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours is a taxonomic guide to colour which been cherished by naturalists and anthropologists for over two centuries – not least by Charles Darwin who found it an indispensable tool during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Now these charming, handmade colour swatches have been recreated as a box of 50 postcards. Each card reproduces a colour swatch alongside its original poetic description and is matched with an animal, plant, and mineral example according to Werner's unique scheme. These curious keepsakes will be treasured by artists and scientists alike.
