The Modern Painter and Decorator-1948-3 Volumes
The 3 volumes give a fascinating insight into decorating and painting
techiques and tools from over 50 years ago. Published by the Caxton
Publishing Company Ltd and written by Arthur Seymour Jennings.Each
book measures 180mm wide and 240mm high.Below are listed the chapters
in each volume.I would imagine some of the recipes in these books
would be invaluable to anyone who wished to replicate authentic
colours and finishes in a period property.As would be expected to
pages in these books are browing a little around the edges due to
age.However all 3 volumes are nice tightly bound copies
