Hope's Standard Steel Windows : catalogue, July 1926 : V.2 Standard Window

            The rather fine catalogue issued by the Smethwick, Birmingham concern of Henry Hope & Sons Ltd in 1926. The company, well known for their architecural metalwork and glazing systems, had introduced standard steel frames as a product in 1919 and thsi catalogue includes various improvements after use in the field and suggestions from builders and architects. It includes a range of standard casements with leaded windows.

The use of 'standard' type and dimensions of windows was eventaully widely adopted by architects and the building trade so as to help simplify specification and production whilst ensuring that a range of manufacturers could deliver to a known specification. As ever the catalogue matches Hope's high quality of publicity and advertising. The book is beautifully produced and printed - the printers being the nearby Birmingham based Kynoch Press, soon to be a division of and house printer for, ICI. At the time the Press was developing a reputation for high quality work for external clients such as Hope's.

Another interior scene - windows with curtains and a vase of flowers.
