EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing a women's sewing circle at 115 East 101st Street in East Harlem, New York, circa 1920. The image, taken by the renowned Byron Company, provides a glimpse into the lives of these talented and industrious women as they engage in their craft. Seated around tables adorned with sewing machines and various needlework tools, these women are deeply engrossed in their work. Their focused expressions reveal both concentration and camaraderie as they stitch together fabrics to create beautiful garments or other handmade items. The atmosphere is filled with creativity and warmth as conversations flow freely between the participants. This social event not only serves as an opportunity for these women to showcase their skills but also acts as a platform for them to connect with one another on a deeper level. The composition of the photograph highlights the diversity within this group portrait - different ages, backgrounds, and experiences coming together under one roof united by their shared love for arts and crafts. It is evident that this gathering holds great significance beyond just sewing; it represents empowerment through skill-sharing and community building. Preserved by the Museum of the City of New York, this silver gelatin print transports us back to an era where handiwork was highly valued. It reminds us of the importance of preserving traditional crafts while celebrating female ingenuity during an influential period in American history.
