EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the late 19th century, a page is revealed from William Tarn & Co.'s Illustrated Catalogue, showcasing an array of record shots in various colours. The catalogue, measuring 24 x 31.4 cm, is filled with 202 pages, including the front and back covers, and boasts an impressive collection of black and white and colour illustrations. The record shots displayed on this page are intricately designed, with each one showcasing a unique pattern or motif. Some are geometric, with repeating lines and shapes, while others feature floral or foliage designs. The colours range from rich, earthy tones to vibrant, bold hues, making each one a visual feast for the eyes. The illustrations in this catalogue are not just limited to record shots, but also include designs for ceilings and dados, as well as furniture for various rooms such as halls, breakfast rooms, dining rooms, libraries, and drawing rooms. The attention to detail in each design is remarkable, with every line, curve, and colour carefully considered to create harmonious and elegant compositions. The exact date of this catalogue is estimated to be between 1890 and 1900, a time when the Arts and Crafts movement was gaining popularity in Britain. This is reflected in the illustrations, which showcase a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, as well as a focus on natural forms and traditional techniques. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of interior design during the late Victorian era. It invites us to imagine the homes of the time adorned with these beautiful record shots and furniture designs, and to appreciate the artistry and skill that went into creating them.
