Derby roll-top desk.
A trade catalogue of roll-top office desks issued in 1886 by George H. Derby & Co. of Boston and printed by A. A. Blair, aimed at furniture dealers and office buyers. Wood-engraved three-quarter views show each desk open, with pigeonhole banks, tambour hoods, paneled kneeholes and carved drawer fronts rendered in fine hatching useful for period interiors and object cutouts.
