Everybody's Paint Book, a 1902 New York manual by F. B. Gardner published by M.T. Richardson, written for amateurs who wanted to do their own house painting, varnishing and paper-hanging. The four pictures are plain line drawings of paintbrushes: a flat sash brush with a metal ferrule, a long-bristled tapered brush, a wide block brush with a tall handle, and a curved-tip brush with a wooden handle. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic way early trade manuals drew tools, with hatched bristles and riveted ferrules.
