Page of Proposal for Lighting Fixtures 1911

This page of proposal for lighting fixtures was made by John S. Bradstreet and Company in 1911 with ink on paper. It’s like a peek into a world where design was as much about imagination as it was about function. I imagine the artist, hunched over a desk, meticulously sketching each curve and flourish. What were they thinking as they brought these fixtures to life on paper? The lines are so precise and delicate, you can almost feel the scratch of the pen. Notice the way the light catches the page. It is as if each fixture has its own story to tell, a testament to a time when even everyday objects were imbued with beauty and care. The texture of the paper itself becomes part of the artwork, adding depth and character to the overall composition. These drawings are not just blueprints; they're acts of imagination, echoing the endless conversations artists have across time.
