System of Measurements Adopted by the National Association of Master House Painters and Decorators of the United States (Including 7 Large Fold-Out Plates)

1895 1st edition of this uncommon turn-of-the-century guide to creating a uniform set of national standards in house painting and interior decorating. Solid and VG+ in its dark-green cloth, with bright, completely unflecked gilt-titling to the front panel. Very light, subtle staining at the front panel, just a touch of scuffing and soiling along the rear panel. Very light spotting as well to the front pastedown and front free endpaper, otherwise very well-preserved. Oblong quarto, also includes all 7 fold-out plates (all of which are clean and crisp), as called for.
