A trade catalogue of 1900 issued by the Pitcairn Varnish Company, a paint and varnish maker, aimed at painters and decorators and the buyers of interior and exterior finishes. The pictures pair wide-format engravings of a motor launch and a bathroom with a stylised Banzai Enamel lettering panel, giving a designer a sense of how enamel finishes were marketed through lifestyle scenes and Japanese-inspired display type.
