Five of the colour plates depict model bathroom designs 'The Sandown' 'The Holmesdale' 'The Pembroke' 'The Ripley' and 'The Dunrobin'. We have only one copy of this catalogue for sale we haven't seen one before and in case we don't see another one we'll take the liberty now while we have the opportunity of extolling the virtues of 'The Sandown' for those who miss out on purchasing the item. <p>'Many to whom it has been submitted admire it unstintingly while others are inclined to regard it as too adventurous. Though its appeal may not be general this new treatment which can of course be carried out in a variety of colours will be welcomed by many individualists with the courage of their convictions as a refreshing departure from the stereotyped. The wall colours are a deep Old Ivory and a subdued Blue that of the floor a pale Powder Blue with deeper border lines'. <p>On reflection the duplication of these six plates is perhaps an editorial directive not a production flaw after all.
