What to do and how to do it. For those who paint, varnish, or kalsomine
A trade manual and brush catalogue issued in 1883 by John L. Whiting & Son Company of Boston, printed by Hub Print in New York for house painters, varnishers, and kalsominers. The wood-engraved cuts show paint brushes in profile and cutaway, their bristles, bound ferrules, and handle stubs built from dense parallel hatching, offering designers compact tool silhouettes and a vocabulary of engraved line shading for volume.
