An early wall-mounted telephone hangs against a plain pale wall, photographed in black and white: a carved wooden back-box topped by a polished brass bell, a central push button, and a heavy receiver suspended on its cord below. Instruments like this date to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when the telephone was furniture — oak cabinetry, exposed bells, and hand-cranked magnetos mounted at standing height. Stripped of colour, the picture becomes a study of form: circle, rectangle, and the long vertical drop of the handset. One machine, carefully isolated.
