Catalogue of printed matter and photographic materials : June, 1887

Percy Lund & Co · 1887 · Bradford : The Country Press · 20 pictures

A June 1887 trade catalogue issued by Percy Lund & Co of Bradford, listing printed matter and photographic materials for photographers and dealers. The pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings of equipment: a large cast-iron roller machine marked Optimus, two round brass-rimmed fittings with lenses or glass tops, and a line drawing of a Harrison tripod-like stand with numbered joints. Their hard outlines, plain hatching and numbered callouts give a designer a clear model for technical product illustration of the period.
