Via Public Domain Review and John Ptak’s Science Bookstore, comes the beautiful, modernist colour analysis charts of รฆsthetic maven Ms Emily Noyes Vanderpoel (1902), whose pixelated palettes look like something in between the works of artist Piet Mondriaan and Pong or Tetris tiles.

Pursue a gallery of dozens of deconstructed illustrations at the links at the top.
