All photos: Martin Howard CollectionA friend of mine was telling me about a collection of antique typewriters he had seen recently while on vacation. I started thinking about typewriters- their unique shapes- so sculptural and intricate- masculine and delicate at the same time and what incredible work horses they were. It's hard to fathom that this groundbreaking invention that revolutionized how the world communicates is now a mere dinosaur.
Fortunately, however, there are many devoted collectors that preserve their beauty, function and remarkable place in history. One collector in particular caught my fancy as I cruised the Internet. Martin Howard has a marvelous website- with an elaborate history of each piece in his collection. Click over to antiquetypewriters.com and view the amazing Martin Howard Collection. Just astounding!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your enthusiastic reaction to my collection of early typewriters. This has indeed been a labour of love, in collecting and restoring these remarkable machines over the past twenty years.
Cheers,
Martin Howard
