The Sherwin-Williams paint.
A trade catalogue issued by the Sherwin-Williams Company around 1901, probably in Cleveland, to promote its paints and floor finishes to house painters and homeowners. Each page pairs a coloured illustration of a house with a smaller scene showing a floor or interior finish in use, with colour names and product notes printed beside them. A designer could take the restrained late Victorian palettes of painted clapboard, shingle, trim and red roofs as a reference for period colour schemes.
