Harrison, Vestil S. 831 Color Combinations [For Showcards and Signs, for 37 Different Backgound Colors].
Vestil S. Harrison, n.d. Fourth Printing.
Octavo, paperbound (stiff, stapled, illus. red wrappers), 43 pp. Good+, with soiling & light edgewear to covers. From Foreword: This handy, comprehensive, Ready-Reference book of 831 Color Combinations for show cards came into being because its author is of that considerable percentage of males afflicted with color-blindness...[The] desire to earn a living in commercial art and lettering despite this serious handicap, led the author to make a special study of the theory, mechanics and use of color. The knowledge of this weakness further led him to make notes of color combinations used in theater art departments, sign and showcard shops and advertising art departments in which he has worked for the past 15 years. All of this observation and note-taking finally culminated in the Òworking upÓ of the color charts in Section One of this book -- and the author devised it primarily for his own daily reference and use!...

From Preface: The subject of Home comforts will never have an end. Of all worthy ways or noble efforts to improve the Home life of the American people, what more encouraging and appreciative field is there, than this of careful, conscientious devotion to the pleasures, recreations and attractions of the Household? The little lady of the house, its mistress, longs ever for the delightful moments of each day, when, with busy fingers, she can add the tasteful touches, here and there, which will make the Little REalm more enticing. And if, in these few pages which we present, there be found aught that will serve to pass away a useful hour, or suggest a happy hint and device for the ornament of her room, the authors will feel rewarded, as with pleasure they dedicate this bright little volume with its winning pages to The Ladies of America.
