Hammer's house painting styles for 1900.
A 1900 paint-company catalogue from the F. Hammar Paint Co., meant for house owners and painters choosing colour schemes for their homes. Its plates are small coloured views of wooden houses, each captioned with a body colour and a trim colour, such as a grey house with red roof and a red house with white trim. A designer could take from them the period palette of muted greys, reds and browns against green trees, and the plain clapboard houses with picket fences and porches.
