Mural, or monumental decoration : its aims and methods, comprising fresco, encaustic, water-glass, mosaic, oil painting

Thomas, William Cave · 1869 · London : Winsor & Newton · 32 pictures

A technical handbook on mural painting, fresco, encaustic and mosaic, published in London in 1869 by the artists' colourmen Winsor & Newton for painters and decorators. Its pictures are plain black-and-white engravings of a paintbrush-and-tool case stamped with the maker's name, rows of brushes graded by size, and a flat brush ferrule drawn in detail, useful for a designer seeking the look of Victorian trade catalogue woodcuts.
