Modern Pigments And Their Vehicles (1908)

Modern Pigments and Their Vehicles is a comprehensive guide to pigments and their use in painting and other applications. Written by Frederick Maire and originally published in 1908, this book covers the chemistry, properties, and uses of a wide range of pigments, including both natural and synthetic varieties. Maire also discusses the various vehicles or mediums that are used to bind pigments and create different types of paint, such as oil, watercolor, and tempera. The book includes detailed descriptions of individual pigments, their history, and their properties, as well as practical advice on how to mix and use them effectively.
