Chilton domestic paints.
This is a trade booklet of paint colour cards issued by the Chilton Mfg. Co. in 1890 to sell its domestic paints to household buyers. The three pictures show a red line drawing of hands opening a Chilton Paints can, the arched Chilton wordmark in decorative lettering, and a swatch chart of named colours from peach blow to lead colour. A designer could take the period lettering style and the named-colour palette of late nineteenth-century paint cards.
