Decorative painting : a practical handbook of painting & etching upon various objects & materials for decoration of our homes
A 1910 practical handbook by Blanche C. Saward, published in London and New York, teaching amateurs to paint and etch decoration on household objects and materials. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style decorative initial letters framed in ornamental borders, with foliage in the letter panels and geometric bands around them. A designer could draw on their bold black-and-white framing, stylised leaves and Arts and Crafts lettering for monograms, borders and label designs.
