Well, the modernist 1880-1920s would definitely be your period, I'd bet. :) There's something about the tentativeness of all that period's designs--nothing could be standard, because it was all changing so *quickly* that even standardization (...)

Amazing creation! I am still dazzled, even though I couldn't see "Fred" live.
