Title | Handwork rendered expeditious: the Rottmann-Silver stencil venture of the 1890s |
Authors | Hendon, Z. |
Abstract | This paper will examine a series of stencilled wall coverings produced in the 1890s as a result of collaboration between businessman Alexander Rottmann and designer Arthur Silver. These products were inspired by a collection of around Japanese stencils (‘katagami’), acquired by the Silver Studio as design reference in the 1880s or 90s. The katagami stencils, and archival evidence of the Rottmann-Silver stencil venture, now form part of the Silver Studio Collection at the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture. |
