Longman & Martinez pure paints to be prepared for immediate use.
A New York paint manufacturer's supplement from 1891, issued by Longman & Martinez to sell ready-mixed pure paints to dealers and painters. The pictures are a colour-swatch chart of named paint shades, a cover with ornate black and red lettering, and a paint can label with a pig-and-triangle emblem. A designer could draw on the swatch names, the decorative Victorian lettering, and the trade-label layout.
