Practical painters' work : with numerous engravings and diagrams
A practical trade manual on house and sign painting by Paul N. Hasluck, published in Philadelphia by David McKay in 1906 for working painters and decorators. Its engravings show the tools of the trade, with brushes drawn in line and labelled by figure number, including a trade-marked flat brush, a broad flat brush with a shaped handle, a long-handled thin brush, and stippling brushes with stiff bristles. Designers can take from them clean, economical outline drawing of simple objects with fine parallel hatching for bristles and wood grain.
