Low Resolution (click) | | Heidegger's Catalog
I'll definately think twice before beginning
a new catalog scanning process. The process
of opening, page turning and scanning a catalog
this old inevitably causes some damage to catalog
itself.
My original plan was to scan a dozen or so of most
interesting pages. But when I saw how many fractured
pages turned into torn pages, I felt compelled to
scan it all, so at least the information would be saved.
This project is going on 6 hours long and no where near
finished. And even then I don't even know if anybody
will ever look at all of this stuff.
Here it is. It is interesting to see how much of
fishing technology was already invented eighty
years ago, in 1927. There are approximately 156
pages in this catalog. I've already scanned the
whole thing, but it will be a while before I put
it all on the web. I'll have to think of a better
way to present that many pages in one place. I'll
have to start (at the very least) by making the
thumbnail links smaller. Or perhaps to get rid of
them altogether.
