Musical merchandise catalog / The Vega Co
A 1920 trade catalogue from the Vega Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, a maker and seller of musical instruments, produced to present its band and orchestra merchandise to dealers and musicians. The pictures are plain, evenly lit photographs and printed halftones of single instruments shot against neutral grounds, showing construction details such as shell grain, scroll carving, f-holes and hardware, which a designer could use as clean reference for studying wood figure, ornament and product presentation.
