Oblong 4to. 11.25 x 9 in. [1], 14, A-P leaves. Including 30 Japanese woven wallpaper sample, w/ most featuring paper backing, 1 w/ small corner sample carefully excised. Original stamped woven paper post-binder, covers fitted into mylar as issued, screwposts at gutter margin (slight shelfwear, minor rubbing), VG bright copy. First edition of this very uncommon, and texturally fascinating Mid-Century Modern Japanese woven textiles wallpaper sample catalogue, filled with a splendid variety of textures, and often featuring applications of pure metal leaf onto the textiles, or woven into the papers themselves. These durable papers were intended to be employed as wall coverings, as well as feature walls to highlight certain architectural elements, or provide a more natural element in home designs. National Lead Co. is perhaps best known for their Dutch Boy paint logo, and their longstanding resistance to regulating the amounts of white lead in domestic interior paint use. Although undated, the Seattle address still uses the "4" 1-digit postal code, subsumed in 1963 by 5-digit postal code. No copies in Worldcat.
