EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into Victorian Industrial Design: The Front Cover of White & Pike's 1897 Illustrated Catalogue" This image showcases the front cover of White & Pike Ltd.'s 1897 Illustrated Catalogue of Machine-Made and Cast Cabinet and Builders' Brassfoundry. Published in both Birmingham and London on the first day of the new year, this catalogue was a testament to the innovative industrial design of the Victorian era. The cover, bathed in a rich burgundy hue, serves as an inviting backdrop for the intricately designed objects that grace its surface. A single, vertical bar, dividing the title and subtitle, adds a sense of balance and order to the composition. The title, "Illustrated Catalogue of Machine-Made and Cast Cabinet and Builders' Brassfoundry," is printed in bold, white letters, contrasting sharply against the dark background. The image itself is a visual feast for the eyes, with an array of brass fittings and fixtures displayed in meticulous detail. Each object, from the ornate doorknobs to the intricate door handles, is rendered with a level of precision and attention to detail that speaks to the craftsmanship of the era. The blank pages that follow, waiting to be filled with more examples of White & Pike's wares, hint at the vast array of products that would be found within the catalogue's pages. This front cover is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when industrial design was at the forefront of innovation and creativity. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the visual history of the past, and the role that catalogues like this one played in documenting and promoting the latest advancements in design and manufacturing.
