Style portfolio of home decoration
A paint manufacturer's sales portfolio issued by the Sherwin-Williams Company in Cleveland in 1910, made to show homeowners, painters and decorators how its colors looked on American houses inside and out. Color plates pair exterior views of foursquare, bungalow and shingled houses set in lawns with matching interiors of bedrooms, dining rooms and parlors, all keyed to specific paint and wallpaper schemes and framed in printed borders, useful for period color palettes, domestic furniture and early advertising layout.
