Priced Catalogue of Artists' Materials

The company traces its origins to 1754 in New York selling paint.  Following a century of assorted owners and partnerships, in 1848 C. T. Raynolds became a co-owner.  In 1852 he made F. W. Devoe a partner and their company became Raynolds & Devoe Company.  They parted ways in the 1870s, but in 1892 partnered again as F.W. Devoe & C.T. Raynolds Company. The catalogue is well illustrated with photographs and etchings.  As the title suggests the company specialized in artists’ materials.  The company was bought by Celanese Corp. in 1964.

A later edition of this book has been digitized and is available through the Internet Archive.
