Sewer pipe: paving brick, conduits, culvert pipe,
This is a 1906 trade catalogue from the American Sewer Pipe Company, published by the company itself, presenting its vitrified clay sewer pipe, paving brick, conduits and culvert pipe to builders, engineers and municipal contractors. The pictures show glazed dark stoneware fittings photographed plainly against a pale ground, including a straight socket pipe, angled elbows, a branch junction and a bent offset, each with a broad collar at one end. A designer could take from them the bold cylindrical and sculptural forms of industrial clay fittings and a restrained, catalogue-style presentation of objects.
