Rows of heavy-duty knife switches stand silent against their polished marble backing, relics of an era when power was controlled by hand. Their cast-metal levers, once thrown with precision, now rest in a permanent state of dormancy, their purpose lost to time.
Faded hand-painted lettering still clings to the surface, a testament to the craftsmanship that once extended beyond function into design. The worn texture of the marble panel bears the marks of decades of use, its cool, veined surface providing a striking contrast to the industrial weight of the switches.
This print captures the elegance of early electrical engineering, where design met utility in a way rarely seen today. A compelling addition for collectors of industrial photography and lovers of architectural detail.
