SMORDAN'S CHROMAPOLYGONS, or
• COLOURED GEOMETRICAL FIGURES.
In offering these Forms to the notice of the Public, Messrs.
Mordan and Co. are desirous of pointing out their utility, as a
source both of instruction and amusement.
To the younger members of the community they afford an un-
limited field for the exercise of taste in the disposition and arrange-
ment of colours, and of judgment in the combination of regular and
discretionary figures. By a judicious employment of the various
shades of colour the perspective of Solid Geometrical Figures may
be produced, and thus an outline of the Science of Solid Geome-
try be insensibly acquired. Instruction will thus go hand in hand
with amusement.
As an inexhaustible source of brilliant ornament, they are ap-
plicable to the decoration of Albums, Screens, Workhouses, Card-
cases, and the other productions of Female taste and leisure.
In many of the Arts, as in that of Printing, whether en Calico,
Silk, Wood, Paper, Leather, or Metals, their importance is great;
offering a ready and prolific source of Design. In the union of
colour and form much time will be saved to the Artist.
