Hampden structural paints
A 1913 trade booklet issued by the Hampden Paint & Chemical Co, a paint maker, to promote its structural paints to builders and steel workers. The four colour plates show painters at work on steel framing, a stair railing, a girder laid across trestles, and men painting a bridge span beneath a passing locomotive, which a designer could use as period industrial imagery of steelwork and its finishing.
