Authentic Color Schemes for Victorian Houses : Comstock's Modern House Painting, 1883

Editorial Reviews Book Description This rare book by two respected architects invited homeowners of the Victorian era to eschew “white houses with green blinds” and join in the revolutionary trend towards colorful houses. In an introductory section, the authors explain clearly how to mix primary and secondary colors to achieve such popular, mellow tones of the period as olive, russet, citrine, buff, plum, and sage. The architectural drawings in the 20 beautiful color plates—each accompanied by a detailed explanation—show how color schemes work on the exteriors of specific houses. 20 color plates.
