Mounted on a marble panel, this battery charging board is a relic from an era when engineering was as much about craftsmanship as function. Hand-painted schematics trace the electrical flow, mapping the path between A and B battery banks with careful precision. The stylized lettering, measured and deliberate, speaks to a time when even utility panels carried an artisan’s touch.
Exposed knife switches sit unprotected, a stark contrast to modern safety standards. The voltage and amperes meters, encased in copper housings, remain tarnished but intact, their surfaces framing the dials as they always have. Time may have silenced this panel, but the attention to detail remains evident in every worn edge and faded marking.
A captivating piece for collectors of industrial photography, this print highlights the craftsmanship behind early electrical engineering.
Printed on museum-quality archival paper, preserving the intricate details with exceptional clarity.
