Quick-Drying Enamel
A 1920 trade catalogue for Quick-Drying Enamel issued by The Lowe Brothers Company of South Haven, Michigan, aimed at painters and house owners doing interior work. The pictures are flat colour swatches labelled with shade names and numbers, such as Shell Pink, Jade Green, Peking Blue and Wicker Brown, plus a cover panel with a stylised flower bowl and the firm's High Standard logo. A designer could take a period palette of muted pastels and deep tones, with the bold Art Deco-style flower motif as a graphic reference.
