Xll DESCRIPTION OP PLATES AND WOODCUTS. 



Plate III. — (continued.') 



Fig. 2 is the Egyptian arrangement of blue, scarlet, and green, 

 on a yellow ground, or separated by yellow fillets. (See p. 95, and 

 Blue, B 2, p. 132.) 



Fig. 3 is one arrangement of the seven colours, purple, yellow, 

 blue, scarlet, green, orange, and black, in simple succession. An- 

 other, and perhaps a better, arrangement would be black, blue, 

 yellow, scarlet, purple, orange, and green ; or purple, orange, green, 

 scarlet, blue, yellow, and black. (See Blue, E 1 a, p. 135.) 



In Jig. 4 are the colours, but not the pattern, of the Jewish 

 ephod. (See p. 17, 131 ; and Blue, B 7, p. 183.) 



In jig. 5 are specimens of the hues of the colours mentioned in 

 this work, as near as they can be obtained in copies made partly by 

 chromo-lithography, and partly by hand colouring : viz. a. blue, 

 b. red, c. scarlet, d. crimson, e. cerise, /. purple, g. yellow, h. orange, 

 i. green, k. tea-green, I. brown, m. horsechesnut, n. chesnut, 

 o. black. 



Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, illustrate what I have said in pp. 92, 93, 

 and are specimens of discordant combinations: y\z. Jig. 6. scarlet, 

 green, and russet (red would be still worse than scarlet); 7. blue, 

 orange, and olive ; 8. yellow, purple, and citrine ; 9. purple and 

 citrine ; and 10. green and russet. 



In fig. 11 is an instance of the mode of preventing blue and red 

 (or scarlet) looking purple ; by the intervention of the white and 

 orange. There are many methods of doing this. Here the com- 

 bination is blue, white, scaidet, orange, and purple, which is har- 

 monious ; though in this design the orange next the scarlet, does not 

 afford a sufficient contrast. (See Blue, C 2, p. 134.) 



Figs. 13, 14, illustrate the difference of little red on a white 

 ground, and little white on a red ground : showing the great su- 

 periority of the former. (See p. 149 ; description of Plate iv. 

 Jig. 4 ; and Blue, B 6, p. 133.) 



Plate TV. fig. 1, is an instance of the union of blue, red (or scarlet), 

 and yellow, the latter separating the other two to prevent their 

 having a purple effect in combination. (See pp. 9, 94, 95 ; and 

 Blue, A 1, p. 131.) 



In fig. 2 are the five colours, blue, scarlet, yellow, purple, and 

 black (see Blue, C 5, p. 134.) The proportion of the purple and 

 the black, to the yellow and to the other two colours, is by no means 

 the one generally required ; and it might be altered considerably in 

 a different design. The arrangement is nevertheless quite har- 

 monious ; and it may serve as an instance of the great range allowed 

 to the proportions of different colours, mentioned in pp. 147, 148. 

 251. (See Blue, C 5, p. 134.)
