Contrasts
Contrasts is a 1918 privately printed photographic book from Lawrence, Massachusetts, issued by the Acadia Mills and written by George Abraham Grierson, presenting the mill's cotton spinning and weaving to its own audience. The pictures are black-and-white halftone photographs of long rows of machinery, spinning frames and looms under overhead lighting, shown rotated on the page, offering a designer strong industrial rhythm, repetition and perspective lines to borrow.
