Dream floors.
A 1929 trade booklet issued by the Boston Varnish Company of Boston, Massachusetts, promoting its varnish and floor finishes to homeowners and interior decorators. The pictures are simple pen-and-ink line drawings of hands handling flooring boards, a hammer and a frame, with bold black scribbled shadows behind them. A designer might take from them the loose hand-drawn shading and the device of cropped, tilted panels arranged in a sequence across a page.
