Page of Proposal for Lighting Fixtures 1911

This ‘Page of Proposal for Lighting Fixtures’ was created by John S. Bradstreet and Company in 1932, seemingly with ink on paper. I imagine them drafting these objects, their hand moving across the page with precision and care, line by line, to capture the essence of each lighting design. I feel like I'm right there with the artist, considering the texture of the paper, the way the ink bleeds slightly, the delicate balance between functionality and aesthetics. See how each stroke communicates intention, purpose, and a desire to illuminate spaces with both light and beauty. The artist’s work is reminiscent of technical drawings or architectural plans, but it is also imbued with a sense of artistry and creativity. It’s like the company are having a conversation with the client, offering options and inviting them to imagine the possibilities. Artists are always drawing inspiration from each other, building upon what came before, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
