    It looks very much like a Yashica D twin lens reflex classic camera that I inherited recently. Along with this I was fortunate to also inherit a Leica 1 (Model A) dating from circa 1930, the first production 35mm film compact camera and a very iconic looking item. http://www.leitzmuseum.org/CameraMakes/Leica/1928-I-A-1.html

    Therefore I’d like to suggest this as the next subject for Neil, as it continues the classic camera theme but would also stand alone and look great as a single poster.

    I love this!

    I’d suggest a gramophone for the next one. I think it would fit the theme well and work perfectly in 2D as this one does.

    Lightbulb! Just for those Eureka moments…

    Or a classic typewriter – that’s definitely an icon of our times.

  6. Sian says:

    Or one of the 300 series 1930’s desk telephones (I’m getting carried away now!)

    Sticking closer to the visual arts – how about a Super 8 camera?

  8. Adam Johnson says:

    Or sticking with photography – a Polaroid Land Camera?

    A cassette!

    Can you tell I want to win this?! I bloody love it!

  10. The Ball Clock, designed by George Nelson in 1950. The styling and colours would look great as a letterpress print.

  11. How about the Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer designed in the 1920s and still completely amazing today nearly 100 years on? Nice lines too.

    A GPO 746 Rotary Dial Telephone in black, luckily your print would be black so that works out well. Great work Neil. To be honest even if I don’t win this one I think I’ll buy one anyway from your site, but don’t let that sway your decision on my object of choice. Cheers Darren.

    On continuing the theme of cameras of the heyday, I would love to see a print of a bellows camera along the lines of a Kodak Vigilant. Bellows camera are some of the most iconic cameras around and not only are they fun to use, they are beautiful to look at!

    Regardless of what you happen to print next, keep up the beautiful work!

    Great design, Neil – really lovely!

    My udea for the day is an old 1950’s style TV, the kind on legs with a long antennae on the top.

    To be slightly different but still keeping with the visual theme… how about a vintage microscope… like some shown on these links:

  30. Thanks to everyone who entered, it really was a tough job to pick a winner – genuinely laboured over it, shortlisted, changed my mind – if I had spare prints I would have given more!
