About this work
This plate from David Ramsay Hay's 1846 work Tints of purple and shades of yellow presents six numbered triangles arranged in a pattern, with the upper group in purple tints and the lower group in dark and olive-green shades. Each triangle sits within a framed field of fine parallel hatching, and small white labels mark the numbers one through six. The print is a colour reference sheet illustrating how tints and shades were systematically arranged.
