Cassell's House Decoration

Published in 1910 by popular British periodical, Cassell’s Magazine, and edited by DIY pioneer Paul N. Hasluck, Cassell’s House Decoration is the ultimate guide to the gentle art of painting and decorating. Written by experts contributing to Cassell’s Magazine, it is comprehensive enough for a seasoned tradesman, yet accessible to the novice decorator. Nine full-color plates, reminiscent of stately Downton Abbey, serve as examples for decorating various rooms in an Edwardian-era home. In addition to the color illustrations, the book contains hundreds of black-and-white graphs, diagrams, and pencil drawings. Subjects include decorative stencils, paperhanging, and sign lettering.
