De catalogi kregen een moderner en overzichtelijker aanzien (...).

WITH the loosely inserted EXTRA LEAF "?60 50? 60kM 50kV-kabel geleverd en in bedrijf (...)". Brentjens p.166ff; Broos p.46ff; Monguzzi p.39-59; Müller p.49-63 (odd pages only); Spencer p.124f; Purvis p.72ff; Broos/ Hefting p.86f; Andel p.209 and 264; Maan/ Van der Ree p.44; Rattemeyer p.100 ff. "In de zomer van 1926 schrijft Piet Zwart, dat hij bezig is met het ontwerpen van een catalogus 'waarin zeer opmerkelijke dingen komen, waarin ik allerlei experimenten uithaal, die, meen ik, nog niet vertoond zijn op reclamegebied'. Het is de catalogus van de Nederlandse Kabelfabriek, waarvan een nederlandse en engelse versie in 1928 en 1929 verschenen. De catalogus was inderdaad een 'zeer opmerkelijk ding'. De mogelijkheiden van een elementaire typografie, zoals Zwart die enkele jaren had kunnen uitproberen in de NKF-advertenties, werden hier aan één omvangrijk werkstuk gedemonstreerd, samen met de mogelijkheden van de door hemzelf tot op dat moment nog nauwelijks ontgonnen gebieden van fotografie, fotogram en fotomontage (...)" (Broos p.46). "(...) een van de hoogtepunten in Zwarts typografische carrière" (Brentjens p.168); "His first use of photographs was in the 1928-29 catalog for NKF in which he incorporated close-up cross-section photographs of electric cables. Products had never before been presented with such clarity. He achieved a dynamic balance between text, photograph, and white space on the page. Double-page spreads work as single compositions, and the catalogue is distinguished by dramatic contrasts, asymmetry and spaciousness" (Purvis p.72). SEE ILLUSTRATIONS PLATE VI.

"Ook in 1929 verscheen een boekje onder de titel 'Ook post voor u?', dat reclame maakte voor de luchtpost en waarin Piet Zwart vindingrijke typografische vondsten toepaste om de PTT-boodschap zo beeldend mogelijk te begeleiden" (Broos '73, p.64). "De brochure telt zestien [sic] liggende pagina's en krijgt een gehalveerde blauwe omslag (...). De acht rechterpagina's bestemt Zwart hoofdzakelijk voor tekst en hij combineert deze met enkele aansprekende kreten en feiten in een speelse combinatie van zwart en rood. Op de linkerpagina's leeft hij zich voor het eerst volledig uit in fotomontages (...)" (Brentjens p.182). "Zwart designed the booklet to promote air mail titled Ook post voor U (also post for you) in 1929 (...). His exclusive use of lowercase letters precipitated a controversy, and while such was consistent with the new international style, people in general simply considered it to be a blatant desecration of the Dutch language (...). Zwart retorted by saying that he "could not have predicted that there would be such a close semblance between Roman capital letters and pure, undiluted Dutch blood"." (Purvis p.124f). "Ook post van u? (post from you too?) was a small book distributed by the PTT in 1929 to promote its recently introduced mail flights to the Dutch East Indies. Piet Zwart lavishly illustrated the book with montages of news photographs" (Broos '96, p.8).
