Strathmore Paper Company · 1912 · Mittineague, Mass. : Strathmore Paper Company · 12 pictures

A 1912 sample book issued by the Strathmore Paper Company of Mittineague, Massachusetts, for printers, bookbinders and designers choosing deckle-edge book and cover papers. The pictures are small printed vignettes in flat tints: a costumed figure labelled STYLES in a green border, a woodcut-like horseback scene, a rabbit on a bowl of eggs in a wreath, and a silhouette of three seated women at a table; a designer might take the simple two-colour tint printing and the framed vignette layouts as models for paper-sample spreads.
