It is perhaps of even greater importance in the preparation of the pigments. We think that we may fairly claim that our Cambridge Colours are the only Artists’ Colours prepared under perfect natural conditions, for our Laboratory, where our Colours are manufactured, is situated on high ground outside London at Loughton, Essex, overlooking the ancient Forest of Epping, where pure air, sunlight, and cleanliness are easily obtainable (2) Only Pigments of the HIGHEST ORDER OF PERMANENCE are included in the Cambridge Palette (3) All the Pigments, according to the usual authorities may be SAFELY MIXED TOGETHER without danger of their acting injuriously on each other (4) All the Pigments are PURE and free from injurious impurities THE “CAMBRIDGE” COLOURS have been used by the leading artists throughout the world for the last thirty-three years Price Lists will be sent post free on application to the Sole Makers MADDERTON & Co.
