Acme Quality painting guide book : a guide book of information for painters, decorators, architects, contractors and householders.
A 1916 trade guide issued by the Acme White Lead and Color Works of Detroit, Michigan, for painters, decorators, architects, contractors and householders. The four panoramic plates show interiors being painted and finished: a woman at a bedroom washstand, a figure varnishing a fireplace surround, a man working on a floor, and a worker in a white coat brushing a wood-panelled counter. Designers can take the warm, flat, colour-separated wash of these early twentieth-century plates as a model for domestic interior illustration.
