Use John Lucas & Co.'s ready pure mixed tinted gloss paint
A trade catalogue cover from 1880 issued by paint maker John Lucas & Co. of Philadelphia, promoting ready-mixed tinted gloss paint to house painters and builders. The picture is a radiating sunburst behind an open book shown as colour swatches in grey, ochre, cream and black, with the lettering arranged in arcs around it, which suggests a designer could borrow the sunburst backdrop and the swatch-block motif for a bold advertising layout.
