Decorative Plates from Das Farbige Malerbuch
Das Farbige Malerbuch, or “The Colored Painter’s Book” by Karl Eyth was published in 1901 by E.A. Seemann, in Leipzig, Germany, as a color supplement to Karl Eyth and Franz Sales Meyer’s Die Dekorationsmalerei, published in 1899, which was entirely in black and white. In the introduction to Das Farbige Malerbuch, the publisher notes that color printing would have been too expensive in the first book, and that it could be done with this one at a relatively cheap cost through the use of three-color printing. Using the three primary colors blue, red and yellow, all color gradations and tones are achieved.
Karl Eyth (1856-1929) was a painter and a professor at the Arts and Crafts school in Karlsruhe, Germany. Das Farbige Malerbuch consists of 96 plates, many of which are illustrations by Eyth’s students. The book is meant as a technical work in the decorative arts, providing inspiration for interior painting, glasswork, and furniture design.
