EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title Page from "Illustrated Catalogue of Machine-Made and Cast Cabinet & Builders Brassfoundry" (1897) This evocative title page is taken from the "Illustrated Catalogue of Machine-Made and Cast Cabinet & Builders Brassfoundry," published by White & Pike Ltd. on January 1, 1897. The Victorian-era catalogue showcases an extensive range of brassware for cabinetmakers and builders. The image is dominated by a single, vertical bar, which separates the title from the rest of the text. The title itself, printed in bold, beige text, sits atop the bar, while the subtitle, "Machine-Made and Cast," is positioned below it. The background is a plain, white paper, providing an uncluttered backdrop for the printed matter. The objects illustrated in the catalogue are a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the late 19th century. The brassware featured ranges from decorative handles and knobs to functional fittings like door hinges and window stays. Each item is meticulously illustrated, allowing potential buyers to visualize the products in their intended applications. The catalogue's title page serves as a window into the rich history of the brassfoundry trade during this period. White & Pike Ltd. was a leading manufacturer and supplier of brassware in the UK, and their catalogues were essential resources for cabinetmakers, builders, and architects seeking high-quality components for their projects. This title page, with its simple yet elegant design, is a snapshot of the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to craftsmanship that defined the brassfoundry industry during the Victorian era.
