Counter price list and counter book : edition 67.
A 1920 counter price list and colour book issued by the Lowe Brothers Company, a paint and varnish maker, presented to dealers and customers as a trade reference for paint and interior decoration. The pictures are colour-printed photographs and paintings of American houses with painted exteriors, including a four-square home with a wide front porch and a bungalow with tapered columns, plus a bedroom with patterned curtains and bedspreads. A designer can take from them the period palette of cream, ochre, deep red roof and green shutter colour schemes applied to clapboard and trim.
