Corto radiator
Originally uploaded by cluttershop
This radiator catalog was a 2003 ebay purchase related to my bungalow fix-up project. That first summer of rehab work was directed by a new friend and old hand at house repair named Robert. He loved radiators and worked hard to convince me to paint my radiators bronze rather than cover them with those wood and metal radiator covers.
He won and my radiators looked quite stunning. The picture above is the first image in the catalog. I loved the stark simplicity of and respect for the humble radiator in this picture. A fitting tribute to my friend Robert who showed me the way.
Radiators in context - a couple of illustrations from the catalog.
