Operator

1874 · New York · 18 pictures

A late nineteenth-century American trade catalogue of telegraph instruments published in New York in 1874, aimed at operators and dealers who needed sounders, keys and batteries. The pictures are crisp wood-engraved line drawings of single apparatus on plain bases, with price lists and captions, offering a designer clean mechanical forms and period typography for vintage technology motifs.
