Masury's house paints.

John W. Masury & Son · 1900 · [New York, N.Y.? : John W. Masury & Son] · 14 pictures

Masury's house paints is a trade catalogue issued by the New York paint firm John W. Masury & Son in 1900, aimed at builders and homeowners choosing exterior colour schemes. Its chromolithographed plates show rotated colour-scheme views of American domestic houses, each labelled with roof, trim, brick and stone colours, so a designer can study how paint palettes shape a dwelling's character and copy the pairings of maroon brick, cream trim and dark roofs.
