Correct color schemes illustrated : painting the house in harmony with its architecture and its setting, together with simple hints on shrubbery arrangement
A 1910 trade catalogue issued by the National Lead Company, published in New York by O.C. Harn, showing house painting schemes for homeowners and builders. The pages pair a large plate of a finished house with smaller photographs of similar houses in the same colour treatment, plus a ground plan with garage and garden beds. A designer could take from them the restrained palettes of Edwardian American houses, with dark trim, light walls and clipped shrubbery framing the facade.
