Atlas ready-mixed paint.
A trade catalogue and colour card issued in 1890 by Geo. D. Wetherill & Co. of Philadelphia to promote Atlas ready-mixed paint to dealers and buyers. The pictures show diamond-shaped colour swatch cards arranged in quadrants, plus a line drawing of a paint can with ornate lettering. A designer could take from them the period palette of muted ochres, olive greens, browns and slate blues, and the framed diamond layout used to present colour groupings.
