Specimens of colors from T. Fewster & Son, manufacturers of varnishes, patent dryers.
A trade catalogue of paint and varnish colour samples issued in 1845 by T. Fewster & Son, varnish manufacturers of Hull, England, for prospective buyers and dealers choosing pigments. The pictures are rows of rectangular swatches in greens, reds, browns and blacks, each labelled with a code in brown ink, arranged on a cream ground. A designer could use the grid of labelled colour chips as a reference for historical palettes of dark greens, oxblood reds and muted earth tones.
