Wraps
1927 · Washington, Indiana
Washington, Indiana: W. L. Evans, 1927. Stated Fifth Edition. Wraps. Near Fine. 4to. 27.5 by 21 cm. 48 pp. Profusely illustrated, often with partial color -- with photos of the doors colored yellow or brown to provide a semblance of the wood finish. The color also give this catalogue a certain panache. On offer are various door systems that cleverly housed, and sometimes concealed, lavoratories, wardrobes, telephone booths. From a time when built-in closets were far less common in homes, and when they existed, were smaller, more spare, less elaborate, than the closet systems on offer here, which can be regarded as precursors of today's walk-in and/or complex closet set-ups. Most illustrations are photos, but also a few more technical drawings. Among doors on offer are also garage doors.
