Reports
A 1908 scientific report issued in Philadelphia by the Scientific Section of the Paint Manufacturers' Association of the United States, aimed at paint makers and industrial painters studying corrosion and anti-corrosive coatings. The plates are photographs of steel test fences set in the field, plus magnified micrographs of pigment particles such as barytes, asbestine, calcium sulfate and china clay, arranged as sequential test documentation. A designer might take their clinical grey tonality, circular microscope masks and raw industrial texture as reference for scientific plates.
