PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

A collection of beautifully designed bicycle head-badges is displayed in a beautifully designed book by Phil Carter of Carter Wong design, showing these badges for the works of art they are.

Description

The headbadge has been affixed to finer bicycles for over a century. Made of steel, brass, copper aluminium and silver, and crafted using elaborate techniques such as die-pressing and acid etching, manufacturers transformed these badges into works of art. The badges, selected from the collection of American Jeff Corner, are given new life in this beautifully designed book by Phil Carter of Carter Wong design.
