This is a fine reproduction of the "American Decorator" stencil catalog, Volumes 1 and 2, c.1890. Decorative stencils and designs are illustrated in both full color and B&W. In the original introduction to Volume 1, the catalog states "Three-fourths of these sketches are executed with stencils; for the rest, free hand work is recommended." The full-color pages are all stencil designs, as are most of the B&W pages. We are estimating the date, since no date appears in either volume of the original catalogs.

We have not merely scanned this book at a high resolution. Just as we do for all our fine printed reproductions, all images have been professionally repaired and restored. And all images have been color-corrected.

This reproduction catalog on CD is meant to be a permanent reference. Our fine printed reproductions are already in some museum research libraries. This item includes:

• CD with entire book in easy-to-use Adobe Acrobat® (PDF) format.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader® for Mac and Windows PC.

You can even print out enlarged versions of the designs. (Most printers support this feature.)

Available for Windows PC and Mac. Our installation CD includes Adobe Acrobat Reader® Version 6 for Windows PC and Versions 6 and 7 for Mac. Updates and other versions may be downloaded free from the Adobe site.
