This is a fascinating book, not least by demonstrating how the Victorians dressed not in shades of grey or sepia, as recorded by their photographs, but in a profusion of colour. Some pages of this personal collection of annotated swatches are illustrated. The author's descriptions of each swatch are at the back of the book.
