Finally!
Time for another cover reveal... this is the second book in the 'Duskwalker' series by Jay Posey, and sequel to 'Three', which I also shot/designed the cover for earlier this year.
Massive thanks goes to all who were involved and helped in making this happen: Tom So (model/actor) for being fantastic to work with on getting this shot! If you think he looks familiar... Tom So is a professional extras actor and has appeared in James Bonds' 'Casino Royale' amongst a whole raft of accolades!
Stewart Larking for art direction and typography, as well as Sabel Studio-Blanco for the fantastic new studio this was shot in and assisting on the day.

A rather fine little catalogue showing the range of electric fires and other small domestic appliances made by the renowned Carron Company of Stirlingshire in Scotland and dated for the season 1930 - 1931. It shows a wide selection of differing types and sizes of electric fires, ranging from utilitarian through to models capable of matching 'tasteful' home decor and at a time when the use of such appliances was growing due to the increased availability and utilisation of domestic electrification. The centrepiece is a coloured inset that endeavours to show the very stylish ranges of colours and finishes available.
The Carron Company had a long and honourable position in the history of Scottish industry dating back to 1759 when, on the banks of the River Carron close to Falkirk, a group set up the foundry to utilise local raw materials and some of the more recent smelting production techniques using coke from coal rather then charcoal. After a shaky start they gained a foothold in the armaments industry with the production of cannon and, in time, the famous small 'Carronade'. Gaining a Royal Charter of Incorporation in 1773 they were, by 1810, one of the largest iron works in Europe and continued using the basic pig iron for a wide range of goods and products including the famous UK postal pillar boxes and telephone kiosks. In later years they moved into other goods, such as seen here, and household products such as cast iron and plastic baths and sinks and, following insolvency in 1982, part of the company is still in business making the latter goods.
The cover, in yapp edged card, includes this neat little industrial embossed vignette.
Tom Eckersley (1914 - 1997) was one of the foremost design practitioners and teachers during the 20th century. In the 1930s he worked jointly with Eric Lombers but the partnership did not survive the outbreak of war. This cover is from a booklet issued by the GPO, then responsible for telecomminications as well as the mail, and was to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell in Edinburgh, the man regarded as the 'father' of the telephone - although there was at the time, in 1876, and still, there is some debate as to the role played by Elisha Grey. Bell was at work in the US at the time of his work and he and his family went on to found that doyen of telephone companies, Bell, later to become AT&T. In the UK the telephone network was consolidated into the ownership of the Post Office who by 1911 had a virtual monopoly of the network - the last municipal systems to hold out being Portsmouth (that transferred in 1913) and Hull that continued to operate its "Telephone Department" until the age of privatisation. Anyhow, the booklet cover shows a profile of the bearded Bell with a contemporary handset and the inventor's first machine.
The typ journal was published in Prague and aimed at the printing industry in Czechoslovakia in the first half of the last century.

What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn’t come every day.
(Pigmalion,akt II - George Bernard Shaw)
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator, who designed more than 1,000 structures, 532 of which were completed. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture". Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States.
Here is why Fallingwater is held in such high regard:

His work includes original and innovative examples of many building types, including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright also designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass. Wright wrote 20 books and many articles and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. His colorful personal life often made headlines, most notably for the 1914 fire and murders at hisTaliesin studio. Already well known during his lifetime, Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time". [Source: Wikipedia]
“Modern Architecture” is the first book in which America’s greatest architect put forth the principles of a fundamentally new, organic architecture that rejects the trappings of historical styles. The book is based on a series of lectures Wright presented at Princeton University in 1930 and thought to be one of the most important documents in the development of modern architecture and Wright’s career.
The subjects of these lively lectures--from "Machinery, Materials and Men" to "The Tyranny of the Skyscraper" and "The City"--move from a general statement of the conditions of modern culture to particular applications in the fields of architecture and urbanism at ever broadening scales. Wright's vision in Modern Architecture is ultimately to equate the truly modern with romanticism, imagination, beauty, and nature--all of which he connects with an underlying sense of American democratic freedom and individualism.
