Dubbele bodem voor kookpan / Verzending binnen het laadprofiel der S.S. van een geslagen ijzeren dubbele bodem ... 1916 - 1924

This double bottom for a cooking pot was photographed, we don’t know when or by whom. These two black and white photos in an album, capture the utilitarian grace of industrial objects. I wonder what it was like for the photographer? Were they thinking about composition, about shapes and forms, or just trying to get a clear shot for documentation? You know, there’s a lot of quiet beauty in the everyday world, in the things we often overlook. I am drawn to the photo on the left with the ‘double bottom for a cooking pot.’ It’s an object that speaks of labor, of functionality. And yet, in its design, there’s a kind of unassuming elegance, right? The rivets, the curves, the way it sits so sturdy and grounded. It makes me wonder about the person who designed it, who built it. Were they thinking about beauty too, or just about making something that worked? Maybe it's both, you know?
