Hardcover. Condición: As New. 4to (26 cm), XXIX, [1], 268, [2], 96 pp. Publisher's boards (ownership entry on the half-title). Facsimile of the 1847 original edition with commentaries in English, French, and German. "Nearly a century before Mondrian made geometrical red, yellow, and blue lines famous, 19th-century mathematician Oliver Byrne employed this color scheme for the figures and diagrams in his most unusual 1847 edition of Euclid's Elements. The author makes it clear in his subtitle that this is a didactic measure intended to distinguish his edition from all others: 'The Elements of Euclid in which coloured diagrams and symbols are used instead of letters for the greater ease of learners.' As Surveyor of Her Majesty's Settlements in the Falkland Islands, Byrne had already published mathematical and engineering works prior to 1847, but never anything like his edition of Euclid. This remarkable example of Victorian printing has been described as one of the oddest and most beautiful books of the 19th century. Each proposition is set in Caslon italic, with a four-line initial, while the rest of the page is a unique riot of red, yellow, and blue. On some pages, letters and numbers are printed in color, sprinkled across the pages like tiny wildflowers and demanding the most meticulous alignment of the different color plates for printing. Elsewhere, solid squares, triangles, and circles are printed in bright colors, expressing a verve not seen again on the pages of a book until the era of Dufy, Matisse, and Derain." (from the publisher's description).

XXIX, 268+96 S., zahlr. farb. Ill. Lex 8° Kart.iS *mit Beiheft*. *neuwertig* Ein Prachtwerk viktorianischer Buchdruckkunst. Rot, Gelb, Blau und natürlich auch Schwarz sind jene Farben, die der Mathematiker Oliver Byrne 1847 für die Figuren und Diagramme in seiner höchst ungewöhnlichen Euklid-Ausgabe verwendet. Als Feldmesser der Königlichen Siedlungen auf den Falkland-Inseln hatte Byrne bereits mathematische und technische Schriften veröffentlicht, doch noch niemals so etwas wie diese Euklid-Ausgabe. Dieses bemerkenswerte Beispiel der viktorianischen Druckkunst gilt als eines der extravagantesten und zugleich prachtvollsten Bücher des 19. Jahrhunderts. Neben dem englischen Originaltext gibt es auch eine deutsche Übersetzung.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Oliver BYRNE (1810-1880). The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid. London: [printed by Charles Whittingham for] William Pickering, 1847. Small 4to. (9 x 7 ¼ inches; 230 x 183mm). First edition of one of the oddest and most beautiful books of the whole century (McLean). Oliver Byrne was an Irish mathematician and engineer who focused greatly on improvements in educational materials for school children. In this marvelous effort, he elucidated the first six books of Euclid s Elements by coloured graphic explanations of each geometric principle. He designated the angles and lines of geometric figures instead of usual letters throughout the entire book, envisioning such a visual appeal will make it easier for schoolchildren to learn plane geometry. Exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London 1851, the book was praised for the beauty and artistry of the printing. It was quite unusual of a Science book to showcase such glamour and lavish richness of decorated printing and stands as a true masterpiece of the Victorian era. The book has become the subject of renewed interest in recent years for its innovative graphic conception and its style which prefigures the modernist experiments of the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements. Provenance- Robin de Beaumont, former president of the Private Libraries Association, an authority in Victorian book design and a benefactor to the British Museum, supplied with a note in his handwriting.

First edition, small 4to (235 x 185 mm), xxix, [1], 268pp., with half-title, with numerous diagrams, symbols and letters printed in three brilliant colours (red, blue & yellow), text printed in Caslon old face and Caslon italic, with woodcut initials, some intermittent spotting and staining as usual, contemporary half calf, rather rubbed, rebacked with partial original spine laid-down, corners renewed, a very good sound copy. First and only edition of Byrne's Euclid, considered to be a landmark example of Victorian book production and regarded by McLean to be "one of oddest and most beautiful books of the whole century." A self-educated mathematician and engineer, Byrne "considered that it might be easier to learn geometry if colours were substituted for the letters usually used to designate the angles and lines of geometric figures. Instead of referring to, say, 'angle ABC', Byrne's text substituted a blue or yellow or red section equivalent to similarly coloured sections in the theorem's main diagram". Friedman. Friedman, Color Printing in England 43; Keynes, Pickering, pp. 37 & 65; McLean, Victorian Book Design, p. 70.

Condición: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Bound in contemporary half calf single ruled in gilt over marbled boards; compartments richly tooled in gilt, six raised bands with red morocco spine labels lettered in gilt; all edges marbled. Illustrated with geometric title page vignettes and diagrams printed in red, yellow, and blue, ornamental initials by Mary Byfield at Chiswick Press. Very Good, neatly rebacked and repaired at tips, light rubbing to covers. Ex-libris Ampleforth Abbey with their shelf number label to front pastedown and their nineteenth-century purple gothic-style stamp on the recto of the flyleaf; additional monastic purple stamp at recto of front flyleaf and rear pastedown. Contents lightly toned with scattered foxing throughout. Nearly a century before Dutch painter Piet Mondrian took the world by storm with his 1930 painting Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow, 19th century Irish mathematician and civil engineer, Oliver Bryne, produced this highly unusual and starkly illustrated Euclidean academic textbook. Celebrated for its brilliant arrangement of primary colors the text is scattered with a myriad of geometrical combinations and complex numerical figures, "the stark use of primary colors was envisaged by Byrne as a teaching aid" in which "each page is a unique riot of red, yellow, and blue, attaining a verve not seen again on book pages till the days of Dufy, Matisse, and Derain" (McLean). It was one of a small number of books displayed at the World Exhibition in 1851, favored for its pleasing and attractive printing style. Unfortunately, costing nearly 25 shillings, the work remained out of reach for the academics Byrne intended it to. The extortionate production used newly invented four color printing methods and subsequently bankrupted the firm in 1853. The work remains a cornerstone of academic textbooks heralded for its graphic elements and is truly a masterpiece of Victorian illustrated books.

First edition. Quarto. Original drab boards, dark green cloth backstrip, printed paper label on front cover, partly unopened. Geometric title page vignette and diagrams printed in red, yellow, and blue, engraved headpieces, ornamental initials by C. Whittingham of Chiswick, text printed in Caslon old-face type. Binding worn and bumped, spine ends a little chipped, 3 cm split to cloth along front joint, rear joint cracked but holding firm, contents heavily foxed as often. The only edition of Byrne's stunning rendering of Euclidean geometry, it has been deemed "one of the oddest and most beautiful books of the whole century" (McLean). Printed in primary colors using four-color printing, Byrne's choice of method was both practical and aesthetic. In addition to creating a beautiful text, "the stark use of primary colors was envisaged by Byrne as a teaching aid" in which "each page is a unique riot of red, yellow, and blue, attaining a verve not seen again on book pages till the days of Dufy, Matisse, and Derain" (McLean). Byrne (1810-1880) was a self-educated Irish mathematician and engineer who "considered that it might be easier to learn geometry if colours were substituted for the letters usually used to designate the angles and lines of geometric figures. Instead of referring to, say, 'angle ABC', Byrne's text substitued a blue or yellow or red section equivalent to similarly coloured sections in the theorem's main diagram" (Friedman).
