Practical carriage and wagon painting : a treatise on the painting of carriages, wagons and sleighs, embracing full and explicit directions for executing all kinds of work : including painting factory work, lettering, scrolling, ornamenting, varnishing, etc. : with many tested recipes and formulas
A trade manual from 1903 by M. C. Hillick, published in Chicago by the Press of the Western Painter, teaching carriage and wagon painters how to paint vehicles, letter, scroll and varnish. The four pictures are black-ink scroll and corner ornaments, flourishes and panels drawn for sign and vehicle decoration. A designer could take from them ready-made ornamental corners, scroll borders and symmetrical panel dividers for vintage-style layouts.
