A 1915 trade catalogue issued by the Solvay Process Company of Syracuse, New York, promoting its rust-resisting paints for protecting iron and steel to builders and engineers. Its pictures are photographs and drawings of tall commercial buildings in various stages, from completed steel-framed towers to skeletal construction frames, showing how protective coatings were applied to structural metal; a designer might draw on the strong verticals, grid of windows, and steel frame detail.
