why and when did the forum turn into a medieval cabal dividing the knowing from the knowing not? easy enough to pass by a request to share knowledge. I have researched fervently for twenty years and thankfully there's too much I don't yet know. Given that advertisements are discouraged, would it be acceptable to post vintage ads, images from brochures etc., that generally have accompanying text, font, colour contemporaneous with the design being advertised. I have been enjoying some from a catalogue designed by Edward White for an exhibition , The architecture of technology (London: Whitefriars Press, 1961) [catalogue of the exhibition of the 6th Congress of the International Union of Architects, London 3?8 July 1961]
Another source of images of furniture in situ, are the early twentieth century publications by Architectural Press ( Consultant Editor: George Nelson) such as Smaller Retail Shops 1937, Tomorrow's House 1945, New Houses 1964, Since there is already a healthy competitive spirit when it comes to I.D. requests, even for the accolade of joker in the pack, see who can be quick off the draw.
As soon as I get my loaned camera back, I'll post some of the early ads.
