Stencils & stencil materials.
A 1910 trade catalogue issued by the Sherwin-Williams Company of Cleveland, Ohio, offering stencil patterns and stencil materials to painters and decorators. The pages show numbered stencil designs in dark blue ink on cream paper, including borders, medallions, corner pieces and plant motifs with prices and sizes printed beside many of them. A designer could take from them a ready library of Art Nouveau style stencil borders, floral repeats and flat silhouette motifs for decorative painting or pattern work.
