Portfolio of white enamel interiors.

Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company · 1910 · Milwaukee, Wis. : Patton Pitcairn Division, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. · 15 pictures

A 1910 trade portfolio issued by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company's Patton Pitcairn division in Milwaukee to promote white enamel paint for interiors. Its black mounts carry photographs of rooms finished in white enamel, with dining rooms, a hall and staircase, and a dining room with fireplace shown in plain monochrome. Designers can take from it the cool, high-contrast look of white painted woodwork against dark floors and furnishings, framed on black card with Asian-style decorative borders.
