Introduction by Major-General Sir Randle Feilden.
The Jockeys' Association of Great Britain. London. 1973. First edition. Hardback, quarto; green cloth-bound hardback with gilt decoration and title, dust jacket. xxii, 340 pages. Over 10,000 graphic colour illustrations of owners' racing colours. English.
A pictorial dictionary of racing colours; as much a work of graphic art as a reference book.

His father was Paul Albert Edouard Schlumberger (1877-1952) and his mother was Elisabeth Schoen (1884-1942). He had four siblings; Daniel Schlumberger (1904-1972), Pascal Alfred (1911-1986), Isabelle Françoise Elisabeth and Jacqueline.
