BPS China-Lac.
A 1925 trade booklet from the Patterson Sargent Co., a paint and lacquer maker, which apparently promoted its China-Lac product to a painting and decorating audience. The pictures are flat, brightly coloured illustrations in a Japanese-style setting, showing a couple in a room, a man beside a lacquered tub, a woman at a stove, and a man ladling lacquer into a painted bucket. A designer might take the saturated yellow, red and black palette and the stylised domestic interiors as period decorative motifs.
