"Warmer: Tracing the Threads of Comfort and Necessity" From the powerful ocean currents off the Americas to delicate tea pots and warmers from 18th century Delft, warmth has always been a cherished element in our lives. As we explore a selection of funnels, food warmers, and flour bins, we uncover the ingenious ways humans have sought comfort throughout history. In 1921, the Match Girl danced across our imagination with her fiery presence, reminding us of both warmth and struggle. Meanwhile, a December 1966 cover design urged us to take matters into our own hands with DIY projects that could keep us cozy during colder months. Cartoon advertisements for Bovril captured attention by showcasing how their product could be your ultimate companion in staying warm. From fur coats to new pullovers adorned with billboards advertising Bovril's power to keep you warmer – they knew just what buttons to push. But it wasn't just about clothing; even night lights played their part. Adverts for Clarke's Pyramid Night Lights in 1892 and 1912 promised not only illumination but also an added touch of warmth when darkness fell. As electrical household appliances emerged in 1929, they brought forth a revolution in keeping homes snug. These innovations made life easier while ensuring that no corner remained untouched by comforting heat. Yet amidst all these modern marvels, traditional sentiments persisted. A chest warmer adorned with comic verse on a Christmas card reminded us that sometimes simplicity holds its own charm when it comes to spreading warmth among loved ones. And who can forget those bed warmers? Color lithographs beckoned gentlemen with promises of cozy nights as servants offered their services – "Do you want a bed warmer sir?" The image evokes nostalgia for times gone by when personal care was paramount. Finally, an engraving titled "The Influenza" reminds us how external forces can influence our pursuit of warmth.
