Gorham Design Library Publication One. [Gorham catalogs on CD, 1880-1909] by Gorham Manufacturing, Providence, R.I - 2001

The Owl at the Bridge / NewBook, 2001. Meticulous reproductions of all 19 annual Gorham production catalogs published between 1880 and 1909, plus an 1889 spoon catalog, the 1928 Modern America flyer (Eric Magnussen's design), the 1889 Paris Exposition catalog, and two 1900 Paris Exposition catalogs, as well as (these are not indexed) a number of smaller catalogs and lists-- priced Buttercup & Lancaster lists, an umbrella-handle catalog and some price sheets. Browsers will be rewarded with unexpected treats. The annual catalogs and the 1900 English-language Paris Exposition catalog (which includes some Martelé) are fully indexed. It is possible to seek individual pieces by production code number-- for example, to call up all napkin rings-- or to scroll through each year's catalog (each year being set up as a folder). The eight disks contain the following folders of jpg images: 1, Index & thumbnail images of the entire file; 2, catalogs for 1880 through 1885; 3, catalogs for 1886, 1888, 1889 (spoons), 1890; 4, catalogs for 1892 & 1894; 5, Modern America ("file 134"), 1896, 1898, and 1889 Paris ("Plan", not indexed); 6, 1900, view of 1889 Paris Exposition ("NY Paper"), NY Sterling and Martelé, and Paris Martelé (in French; not indexed); 7, 1902 & 1904; 8, 1906-07, 1906-07 smallwares, and 1908-09. This represents the complete run. Scan quality is sharp and clear enough to be highly magnified (useful for repair details). Discounts for purchasers of multiple copies. Fine in shrinkwrap. stock#CD1x.
