Description: | Bowman's furniture shop in Camden Town advertised itself as: 'the first firm to sell good modern designs at reasonable prices and still the best.'
This catalogue shows their new innovation of 'numbered sizes' allowing customers to order each piece in a variety of sizes. The range of furniture is impressive and the catalogue shows suggested ways of laying out the furniture at home.
The witty cover of this catalogue, by artist Edward Bawden, illustrates various delivery men running to get furniture to their customers. The back of the catalogue extends the humour, with suggestions for Christmas presents from Bowmans suitable for Hubby, the House, the maid or a rich uncle! | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | MoDA, Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (Middlesex University) | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1935 - 1940 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
