Original June 1891 Dennison Manufacturing Company tissue paper catalog and sample pattern booklet, measuring approximately 5.75 × 8.75 inches. This Victorian-era advertising catalog promotes Dennison’s “39 Mill” colored tissue paper and contains both printed instructional content and original bound tissue paper color samples.

Dennison Mfg. Co. of Boston, Massachusetts was one of the most influential American manufacturers of decorative paper, stationery, labels, and craft supplies during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Publications like this were produced to demonstrate creative uses for their products and to encourage the rapidly growing hobby of decorative paper craft.

The booklet contains a wide range of illustrated instructions and patterns for making decorative items from tissue paper, including:

Paper flowers and botanical designs

• Daisy

• Tulip

• Poppy

• Roses

• Moss Roses

• Violet

  Additional pages include:

  • Original color sample swatches of Dennison imported tissue paper

  • Price lists for paper flower materials

  • Instructions for shaping, cutting, and assembling tissue paper decorations

  • Advertising pages for related Dennison paper products including crepe tissue and decorative napkins

  The final page advertises Dennison’s locations in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, illustrating the company’s national distribution network at the time.

  Victorian craft manuals such as this were important marketing tools and also helped popularize the late-19th century fashion for handmade decorative paper flowers and home ornamentation. The presence of the original color sample section makes this an especially attractive piece for collectors.
