Assignment: PCA 43 "Pattern"
Deadline: October 19th, 2008
Image Tag: pca43
From: Judy Knesel
Mission:
Pattern and repetition is used in many of the arts, like poetry and music for example. We are attracted to visual patterns because they are oddly comforting. Our emotional response is aroused when a single design element is multiplied into a repeated pattern.
Pattern is in so many things around us that sometimes we just don't notice it any more. Your mission is to stretch your imagination and post a wall-worthy photo of pattern that is either created by you or found in life around you. But no buildings.
WIT : well i kinda thought of just the garlic and doing some close ups of that but once i got slicing i just seemed to chop up anything in the kitchen that had an internal shape, was kind of lacking colour so i threw in a tomatoe for a splash of red. It not quite as i pictured it in my mind and i am not sure if the black background wouldnt have been better if it was on the chopping board. Anyway, here is it disect at your leisure
The rail freight service along Sydney's North Shore line lingered into the 1980s but these sidings at St Leonards goods yard were seldon seeing revenue business by this time. High rise apartments now dominate this location.

Somewhere around the Worcestershire Beacon, Malvern Hills, Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, likely to be in the Summer, circa 1985 to circa 1995.
About this photograph.
Those three guys are British firefighters on an emergency call-out to fight a wildfire on the Malvern Hills.
Only one side of a single hill was on fire, it was not an extreme inferno, but simply a very large patch of fire coving almost half of one side of the slope, and the weather was hot, but not a heatwave.
The Country of Hereford and Worcester Fire Brigade were on a call-out to go up the hills, and attempt to fight the fire. They had managed to get the fire under control, while many people were still hiking and walking all over the hills.
Here, you see the firefighters wearing the late 20th century uniform long before they were replaced with a more modern ones.
Notice that in the photo, you can see the helmet did not have a protector visor, because in the old days, helmet designs were very much like that, before the more modern with visors started.
The photo shows two of the firefighters listening to the other one, likely to be discussing the matter.
The photographs were taken with a Minolta X-700 35mm SLR film camera, possibly with a 28-200mm zoom lens, and either a Kodak or Agfa colour film.
I am unable to remember the date, let alone the year, as I have lost my notes, but I know it had to be sometime between 1985 to 1995, during the summer. This is because 1985 is the year I got my X-700 and 1996 is the year I moved to a new home (explained below).
About the event.
At that time, I lived with my parent in a top floor apartment, with a view to the Worcestershire Beacon, thus if there was a fire on the hills, I would see smoke. This is when I decided to grab my camera and head up to the hills to try some photojournalism-style photography.
In those days, health and safety rules were a bit lax, there were people still going for walks up and down the hills even when the firefighters were trying to get the fire under control.
There weren’t any police officers trying to get people off the hills, and the civilians were simply going for a walk, this was why I was able to freely move around and try to take some shots of the firefighters.
The colour shots were sent off for developing and printing, as I only develop and print black and white myself.
About 30 years later, the prints were scanned to the computer, using a Brother A3 multi-function printer/copier/scanner/fax machine, so I could upload them to my Flickr Photostream.

An advert page from the 28 May 1955 edition of "Illustrated" magazine, one of the many popular such magazines produced from the vast stable of the Odhams Press in London. Created in 1898 Odhams took advantage of the increasing market for illustrated magazines and by 1938 introduced the first such 'colour' title, Woman. In post-war years a new plant in Watford was constructed and this would in later years become part of the Fleetway/IPC Group that Odhams folded into in 1961. "Illustrated" incorporated other titles from 1939 including "News Review" and "The Passing Show" to better compete with Picture Post. In post-WW2 years, with the lifting of paper rationing, the market expanded again and Illustrated was one of the weeklies that sold over a million copies per issue. The cost of advertising in the magazine must have therefore have been consumate with circulation and prime pages took advantage of the colour gravure printing.
This is another in the highly successful series of Rowntree's adverts for their Fruit Pastilles and Gums that were issued in the 1950s. They relied on a minimum of text, the product packaging to show the subject of the advert and bold colours of the sort that colour gravure printing such as this could so successfully reproduce even on poor quality papers. This is the 'girl' version of the advert.

Two more pages from the 1926 Christmas catalogue issued by the well-known biscuit manufacturer's of William Crawford & Sons who in 1856 had acquired a bakery in Leith; the 1813 establishment date they always quoted refers to the original opening of a bakers of ships biscuits that formed the original concern. The company grew and when their new and highly mechanised plant in Liverpool opened in 1897 they were amongst the biggest biscuit makers in the UK. They would, in 1960, be acquired by United Biscuits and the brand is still available.
These pages show the glorious tins of "Fancy Assorted", arrayed in all their tempting glory, along with the 'Specials" that included the oblong and oval versions of "City Assorted", the "Royal Assorted" and a special tin of one of their most popular lines the Cream Cracker.

Murraymints were a product of R S Murray Ltd, a company originally based in London and founded by the American R S Murray, an importer of bon-bons, who set up a factory in 1882. The company became a limited company in 1900 and in 1936 it was acquired by C & E Morton, the canned food producers, who moved production to their plant at Lowestoft. Murray MInts, a caramel style hard mint, were introduced in 1944 a year before Morton's became part of Beechams. In 1959, to develop their confectionery range, Beecham acquired Pascals, but by 1964 they'd disposed of the combined company to Cadbury and it is their successor company, Mondalez, who still make Murray Mints.
This advert is a full width version of artwork that was also used in a single column style and it uses the strapline made famous by Murray's early TV adverts "the too good to hurry mints". The artist/designer is shown as Wilk.

This spread includes two adverts - for Welgar's Shredded Wheat and Mars Spangles boiled sweets.
Welgar has its origins in the US and the invention of the shredded wheat biscuit, and manufacturing machine, by one Henry Perky who by 1890 was selling the product. The UK subsidiary was formed in Welwyn Garden City in 1926, just in time for the company to become part of Nabisco in 1928. The US concern divested the UK branch to Rank Hovis MacDougall in 1988 but within two years the site was sold on to another company and production was removed to Wiltshire in 2008. The artwork, of the sleep walking man, is by "trog", a Canadian cartoonist by the name of Wally Fawkes.
Spangles were a departure from chocolate into boiled sweets by the UK branch of the Mars Company and had been introduced in 1950. They sold well as they had an advantage in terms of the still present sweet rationing system (removed in 1953) and were heavily marketed before being withdrawn in the 1980s. Many will recall these square sweets in the packet as seen here - thsi shows the later individual waxed paper wrapper. The advert shows the fruit flavours and Spangles also came in some other flavours such as "Old English".

Two tradenames here - a double advert for Paynes and one for Bowater's Andrex toilet tissue.
A surprise in every bite! Yes, well, if it was a surprise nut! George Paynes, a London company that relocated to Beddington on the southern outskirts in the 'thirties first introduced raisin Poppets in 1937/38 and the selection developed from there. Although these adverts show the larger 'selection' boxes most people recall Poppets for the small cardboard boxes they came in. The company became part of Northern Foods in 1998 and production moved first to Leicester and latterly York where Poppets are still produced.
The Andrex advert is interesting in many ways - reminding us that toilet tissue was available from chemists and stationers! The brand developed from paper tissues first made in 1942 by the St Andrews Paper Mill in Walthamstow, London, a concern acquired by papermakers Bowaters in 1955 so this must be an early advert under their 'banner'. The following year Bowaters entered a joint concern with the US Scott Paper Company covering their toilet and facial tissue ranges. In 1986 Bowaters sold out their joint share to Scott who latterly were acquired by US Kimberly-Clark. The brand continues in use.

This catalogue for 1929 showing box tops for chocolates and biscuits was issued by the Leeds colour printers George H Harrison & Sons of the Statue Printing Works. It was issued in two formats, for large and small cartons, and contains numerous stock designs that could be overprinted with a brand and retailers name. The colourways and designs are very 1920s 'chocolate box' in style with little of contemporary graphic design! They show very traditional scenes, Christmas and such, as well as charming 1920s 'flappers' along with a smattering of historical and 'Far Eastern" promise and delights! The prices ranged from 55/- per thousand for designs in Section C, through 65/- in Section B and Section A's designs coming in at 75/-.
This is the embossed cover with much use of gold ink.
A supplement plate to the August 1923 issue of Commercial Art advertising the printing skills of the Morland Press in London and printed on 'Tycoon paper' supplied by Berrcick Brothers. The illustration, of a profiled woman applying lipstick, is by Dorothy Burroughes (1883 - 1963) - one of the now sadly often overlooked female commercial artists and illustrators of the period.
Burroughes had her first commission for a London Underground poster in 1920 and her illustrations of animals in particular for the Underground were immensely popular. This insert dates from the year of her first solo exhibition.
Another view of an Indonesian Railcar at Yogyakarta back in 1976. I think I recall these cars operated a cross country service, perhaps from Yogyakarta to Semerang. Maybe someone can tell me more information and whether these trains are still in service?.

This pre-WW2 leaflet for the Stanserhorn Bahn - mountain railway - is very typical of the style adopted by many Swiss transport organisations and makes much use of quite high quality colour printing, including a panorama and map. The railway, a three stage funicular, came into use in 1893 serving the mountain summit and an adjacent hotel that is advertised int his folder.
The railway operated until 1970 when a lightning strike started a fire that destroyed the hotel and driving engine for the upper, third section of the funicular. In 1974 the second funicular section was abandoned leaving the lower section in use that connects with a modern cable car that rises to the summit.
The cover artwork shows the mountain top hotel, and the short walk to the summit itself that has 'views over the Lake of Lucerne'. One is signed "Ernst' and the cover has a wee stamp hinge that makes me think it was in someone's holiday album.
To show off the technical and price advantages of using Paramat's 'Paracut' rubber printing mats for lithographic printing the company reproduced this colourful poster for Hadfield's "He-O-Lin" paints in The British Printer, May 1934. It is a reproduction of an "actual job" and used standard inks manufactured, in this case, by A B Fleming & Co Ltd of Caroline Park, Edinburgh.
Hadfield's were based in Merton, south London, and although in existance as a varnish manufacturer from possibly as early as 1840, in 1917 they purchased from the Government the works of Charles Blume's that was wound up under the Trading with the Enemy Act. They merged in 1969 they merged with Bestobell and subsequently the works were closed.

Oakley Court is now a luxury hotel that overlooks the River Thames near Bray in Berkshire. Because of its proximity to the adjacent Bray Studios, and also no doubt thanks to its neo-Gothic design, the house was used - according to Wikipedia - as the set for a number of horror films including The Brides of Dracula (1962) and The Plague of the Zombies (1966). Photograph taken Sunday 22nd June 2014.
Oh dear, I should have at least tried to smile, but it looks like I was caught by surprise. My dad snaps me moments after I had photographed the dmu in the background, which has just arrived at Lambley station. The camera in my hand is the basic one I used almost exclusively between 1973 and 1976. The date is Tuesday 15th July 1975. I have mixed feelings about this summer because, although I didn't know it then, I had failed most of my 'O' Levels; I blame lack of application and an obsession with the railway hobby. I recall this with some trepidation as No. 2 daughter prepares to take her GCSEs this summer, but no, she is very conscientious where school work is concerned and emphatically not a follower of the railway hobby.
The Alston branch ran through the valley of the river South Tyne between Haltwhistle in Northumberland and Alston in Cumbria. The line closed to all traffic on 3rd May 1976, in what may have been the final act in the implementation of Beeching's cuts.
Since that time, the South Tynedale Railway has opened a 2' narrow gauge line using the old trackbed from Alston to Lintley (3½ miles), and has plans to extend further north.
