The Alabastine Stencil Catalog
A 1920 trade catalogue of stencil patterns issued by The Alabastine Co. of Paris, Ontario, to sell wall-decorating stencils and paint to painters, decorators, and homeowners. The plates print each design as flat black silhouette on cream stock, numbered and priced with border widths given: repeating frieze bands of stylized palmettes, scrolling foliage, grape clusters on geometric stems, and ribbon-tied rose baskets, all ready to lift as high-contrast ornament, borders, or repeat tiles.
