Six plates, set the way a catalogue sets them. They are stock photographs from Pexels, chosen to show the kind of thing described. None of them is a picture of this shop. Every photographer is credited under the plate.

The six plates

A comb, a clipper and two pairs of shears laid out on a black rubber grooming mat among clumps of cut hair.

The six engraved dogs

The dogs on the home page and the price page are line-screen engravings made from these photographs, one for each weight class, each with its own line pattern to suit the coat. The original photographs are not shown on the site.

Fig. 1 on the home page, the chalk board, the blade chart, the recipe-box card and the plan of the shop were built for this site as inline drawings and are not photographs.
