About This Item
New York, 1915. First Edition. Hardcover. Paper pastedown. . Very Good. 4to. 28 by 21 cm. 48 pp. With many color illustrations of home exteriors and interiors. National Lead Co. produced Dutch Boy paint, still a popular brand. The book depicts a variety of home styles -- Colonial Revival, bungalow, Queen Anne, etc. -- then in favor, and for both then and now the renderings capture a suburban ideal. The advice extends well beyond the subject of paint colors to include such topics as exterior landscaping. Above all else, though, the booklet is a well-written "primer" on paint, its purposes, its make-up, its costs, etc. Small corner bump to front and back cover, with matching crease to corner of leaves within. Bright and clean pages.
