Dutch kalsomine.
A trade booklet of paint colour swatches and advertising from the Muralo Company of New Brighton, New York, issued around 1930 for painters and decorators selling Dutch Kalsomine, a ready-mix wall paint for cold or hot water. The swatch pages show named colour chips such as Birch Green, Riviera Blue, Pale Orchid and Tulip Blue, set on a plain ground within thin bordered frames, while the cover uses a flat-colour Dutch figure with a windmill and bucket. A designer could take the cover's navy, mustard and cream lettering scheme and the simple labelled swatch layout as a model for period colour charts.
