Silver standard : a periodical of 1847 / arranged, printed and originally distributed among those of this country who deal in silverware.
A trade catalogue issued in 1907 by the Meriden Britannia Company of Meriden, Connecticut, for retailers and dealers in silverware, showing its silver-plated flatware, hollowware and display cases. The pictures are plain engraved and halftone views on cream or grey grounds, with spoons, forks and a knife arranged on shadowed backdrops, serving pieces and a tea set in line drawing, and a photographed street of tall commercial buildings. A designer could take the tonal arrangement of cutlery and the restrained ornamental handles as models for product layout.
