Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Extremely rare copy of available items from F. W. Devoe & Co on Fulton and William Streets in New York. Items housed in a full hardback BOOK. Green buckram with red emblems. Gilt titling on the spine. Book is in very good condition. This book could be from as early as 1855… when they moved to Fulton street, but the only other copy available of this book dates it at circa 1885, so going to go with that date. F.W. Devoe & Co. was a prominent New York-based manufacturer of paints, pigments, and artists' supplies during the 19th century, with origins tracing back to 1754. The company was founded by William Post, who began selling paint on Manhattan's East River waterfront. Over time, the business evolved and expanded significantly, becoming a key player in the American paint industry. However, the items in this book tend to be more related to surveying and building instruments. Very historical content; belongs in a museum or archive! (BR) Shelf 322.
