The Alabastine decorating company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was located near a major source of Alabastine (gypsum). This interesting catalog contains pictures, prices, and dimensions of about 300 stencils. A wonderful source for information on period decorating. And the stencils can be enlarged and used, too. Also included are 10 other stencils from a different Alabastine catalog.

We have digitally reproduced and restored our original catalog at an extremely high resolution, and printed the pages on a matte stock. This is not a photocopy - our methods allow us to retain an unusual image clarity and depth of detail. Any colors are daylight-corrected. Some of our fine reproduction catalogs are already in museum research collections.

This 62-page reproduction catalog is meant to be a permanent reference. Its true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, allows this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. The front and back covers are printed on heavy marbled cover stock, protected by sturdy clear vinyl outer covers. A wonderful and unusual gift for yourself or someone special.
