A trade manual on house painting and interior decoration by Walter John Pearce, published in London by Charles Griffin in 1898 for working painters, decorators and apprentices. Plates mix flat black stencil borders and repeating wall patterns with line-engraved brushes, tools and technical diagrams, giving designers ready-made ornamental strips, tile and damask repeats, and clean silhouettes of workshop equipment.
