Sheffield plate
Sheffield plate, a 1907 book by Bertie Wyllie published in London by G. Newnes and in New York by C. Scribner's Sons, written for collectors and readers interested in silver-plated ware. The pictures are plain studio photographs of single silver-plated objects against dark backgrounds, showing urns, a candlestick, and a pierced basket with lit edges and chased decoration, useful to a designer studying classical vessel silhouettes, fluted bands, and reeded rims.
