Practical painting and how to use the Heath & Milligan paints
A trade booklet issued by the Heath & Milligan Paint Co. in 1905 to show painters and builders how to use its paints. The pictures are full-page printed plates of wood grain samples, each captioned with a species name such as White Oak, White Cedar, California Cedar and Washington Cedar. A designer could draw on these tonal, grainy plates as references for faux wood finishes, textures, or vintage trade graphics.
