Frost & Adams Co. · 1890 · Frost & Adams Co., Boston · 3 pictures

An 1890 trade catalogue issued by Frost & Adams Co. of Boston, aimed at artists and shops selling artists' materials, and covering watercolour paints and related supplies. The pictures show the firm's product line as woodcut-style engravings of paint boxes, cake pans and tubes, with printed labels legible on the containers. A designer could take from them the crisp hatched line work and tidy product-label typography of late nineteenth-century commercial illustration.
