A handbook for housepaint users.
A trade handbook published by the Lowe Brothers Company of Dayton, Ohio, in 1899, aimed at house painters and paint users and covering house painting and paint. The four plates show factory and workshop interiors, with rows of workers, tables, shelving and machinery drawn in fine line, rotated on the page. A designer could draw on their dense, orderly industrial layouts and the soft sepia tones of early halftone printing.
