Inside this 1897 manual:
The painter’s trade in 1897: house painting taught as a complete system across 102 pages. Painters, decorators, and restorers restoring period work will find Jesse Haney’s methods still the reference. Restorers match period finishes to these pages; the graining directions have no modern equal.
