The above illustration is from an un-relquched photograph of the surface of a panel coaled with a straight white lead paint and exposed to the atmosphere of a large city continuously for two years.
Note how badly the paint has "chalked." The little pile of dust in the photograph was secured by rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth. The dust collected was from an area measuring 1 2 in. by 8 in.
Note how the white lead film has turned gray in reaction with the coal smoke and sulphurous gases in the air.

SWP
The above is a close-up photograph of the SWP paint film after a three-year exposure. Observe the generally unimpaired appearance of the' film and absence from the characteristic checking of single pigment white lead paint.
If white lead as a single pigment made the best house paint, the United States Government and all important railroads would not be specifying paints for exterior painting that have a MULTIPLE PIGMENT CONTENT.
