Choosing a Paint Box
". . .The alternative was to mount the canvas or panel on an easel, which would require the painter to bend down to the ground whenever a tube of paint or tool was needed. This situation was remedied by further innovation in the form of the Gloucester or Anderson Easel, a good wide based set-up that can more than handle the task and is still in use today. It was designed to accommodate the 16x20 box that was then mounted on the easel. This eliminated the need of constant bending and the accompanying back problems."From John Hughes article "Choosing a Paint Box"
