Painted Memories A selection of historical paint references Presented by Peter Walters No 1 of an occasional series

This month I am illustrating the change in attitude towards personal safety and hygiene that has occurred in the last fifty years by submitting a photograph guaranteed to set OSH and ASH fuming, particularly as it was published in a book aimed at children.

The painter, spraying the 1950's Austin 7 with Automotive Nitrocellulose Lacquer, is smoking!

Reference: "Things we Need - Paint" Undated though, from the models of cars pictured, published in the latter half of the 1950's.
