Where sign writing meets show cards, as an instant download.

Sign and Show Card Writing (1899) by Charles F. Butterworth bridges the two trades — sign writing and show-card writing taught together, as they were practiced together in 1899. The crossover title for both shelves.

Inside this 1899 textbook:

From Charles F. Butterworth (1899): ~64 (catalog: "64 p.") pages of price-ticket and sale-card layouts and brush handling for card work, arranged as working lessons rather than picture plates. A working reference for show card writers, retail advertisers, and sign painters, not a coffee-table book.
