Reaction was needed, but.......
In architecture and design, Brutal Modernism was an overreaction to overdecoration. The slogan Form Follows Function was fraudulent, but sometimes you can see why a reaction was necessary......
An 1884 ad for A. Pinover and Co, jewelers, at 16 Maiden Lane, NY. (I think.)
There's one neat Easter egg in the design. The & sign contains the letters A N D.
Center bottom might also be a rebus: A pinned over and company. Doesn't quite work. I'm probably missing something.
Later: This one image contains a lifetime supply of ReCaptchas. Find all the rings surrounding curlicues with four flips. Find all the hummingbirds. Find all the bees. Dragonflies. Butterflies. Owls. Find all the diamonds pierced by downward-pointing arrows. Nearly infinite details, all verbally specifiable.
