How to Paint
A 1920 instruction booklet from Sears, Roebuck & Co., a mail-order retailer, teaching home owners how to paint. Its pictures are simple line drawings of a man painting a door, stair railing, wall siding and a fence, showing the work step by step. A designer could take from them the clean, flat, spot-colour style of early twentieth-century do-it-yourself instruction graphics.
