Batchelder tiles : a catalog of tile products made in Los Angeles, The
A trade catalogue issued in 1923 by the Batchelder-Wilson Co. of Los Angeles, showing its line of architectural tile products for builders and designers. The plates present relief tiles and tile-faced friezes photographed plainly, with numbered sizes such as 8x8 inches, so a designer can read the pattern scale directly. Their Gothic tracery, stylised leaves and Arts and Crafts geometry suggest motifs for tile borders, fireplace surrounds and wall panels.
