Wadsworth Martinez Longman pure paints.
A trade sample card from the paint firm Wadsworth, Martinez and Longman, published in New York in 1890 for painters and buyers of ready-mixed paint. Its picture shows a red-framed oval vignette of a reclining animal above the header 'Pure Paints, Prepared for Immediate Use', with a grid of eight shaded paint swatches in grey, cream, yellow and lilac beneath, offering a designer a compact model for vintage label and colour-chip layouts.
