H.W. Trickett Limited · 1906 · Waterfoot (Manchester), England : H.W. Trickett · 19 pictures

A 1906 trade catalogue published by H.W. Trickett Limited of Waterfoot, Manchester, England, promoting the firm's Gaghills slipper factory to retail buyers. The pictures pair photographs of slippers with formal studio portraits of male staff, the portraits in plain three-quarter poses. A designer could take from it the flat, unfussy product shots of felt and knitted slippers against plain backgrounds, and the simple sepia-toned portrait format.
