Horseshoe Brand Brushes
A 1924 trade catalogue issued by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. to present its Horseshoe brand paint brushes to painters and building trades buyers. The pictures are black-and-white studio photographs of brushes laid out against plain grey backdrops, showing bristle blocks, ferrules and handles in clear detail, which suggests a clean product-shot approach for showing tools in isolation, with close attention to the shape of bristle fields and the tapered wooden or metal handles.
