This is a first edition 1880 book called The Handbook for Painters and Art Students in the use of colours etc by William J. Muckley and was approved by the science and art department.
It is in good condition for age and I have tried to picture the worst of it.
Really interesting is that it is signed on the inside front cover- Joseph Milner _ having researched this the artist Joseph Milner Kite does have a very similar signature on his paintings and would have been 18 years old at the date of publication, he was born in Taunton which is not far from where this book was found, also inside the back cover there are two pencil sketches,one of them is signed but difficult to make out.
This is a rare book on it's own but has the added interest which needs more research.
