EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in New York City in 1891, offers a glimpse into the little-known world of artificial flower production during the 1890s. The image, titled "Making Artificial Flowers at 12 Cents per Gross, New York," showcases a group of women intently working on creating these intricate blooms within the cozy confines of a home setting. The women in this photograph are engrossed in their work, their faces reflecting a mix of concentration and satisfaction as they meticulously shape and assemble petals, leaves, and stems. The room is filled with an array of tools and materials, including scissors, glue pots, and piles of fabric and paper. The walls are adorned with finished flowers, adding a pop of color and vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The caption reveals that these artificial flowers were being produced at a cost of 12 cents per gross, suggesting that they were an affordable alternative to their natural counterparts. This industry, which flourished in the late 19th century, provided employment opportunities for women, many of whom worked from their homes. The home-based nature of this work allowed them to balance their domestic responsibilities with their income-generating activities. This photograph offers a fascinating window into the past, revealing the industrious spirit and resourcefulness of the women who created these beautiful artificial flowers. It also highlights the ingenuity and adaptability of the American people during a time when innovation and entrepreneurship were at the forefront of the nation's development.
