COLOR PHOTOGRAVURE OF A HOME IN ENGLEWOOD, NEW JERSEY
Color: Blue; Brown; Green; Red
A photogravure of a house, featuring Weatherbest Stained Shingle Company, Inc. products, from a set issued in the 1920s. The artifact, which was housed with others in a cover that is item 2.1, features an image of the Englewood, New Jersey house, which has wood siding; shuttered windows; a covered porch; projecting rooms at the left and right; a garage behind the house; and a steeply pitched roof with tints of color in the material and imitated thatched roofing with shingles from the Weatherbest line. A circular driveway, grass plot and newly planted shrubs, bushes and trees comprise the landscaping, while more mature trees are in the background. A red sedan is parked at the front door. At the left, in a blue field within a white border is a description of the house including the Weatherbest items used. On the reverse within a rectangular-shaped blue field is a floor plan of the two-story house. Aside from some very light edge wear; dented corners; a small stain at the reverse lower left and blue ink smeared at the bottom right of the reverse, the artifact is in good condition.
