EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from the early 20th century showcases a page from The Architects Compendium, a renowned publication that served as an essential resource for architects of its time. The print, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the world of architectural design and construction in 1915. The page features detailed engravings depicting various aspects of building materials and techniques. From underslatings to dampcoursings, proof concrete to roofing options, this compendium covers it all. It even delves into more specific topics such as insulating and soundproofing papers for gramophone factories. The inclusion of advertisements adds an interesting layer to the composition. One advertises Blackwells Ready Roofings, based in Hayes, Middlesex and owned by Robert W Blackwell. This highlights how businesses capitalized on the need for reliable roofing materials during this era. Firwood timber is also mentioned within the text but with emphasis that it is not associated with any particular company. Firewoods are briefly discussed too - perhaps indicating their importance as kindling or fuel sources during that time period. Overall, this print provides us with valuable insight into architectural practices at the turn of the century while showcasing beautiful engraving work. Its historical significance makes it a fascinating addition to any art collection or study on architecture's evolution over time.
