EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "George Washington Flat Iron Stand" by Milton Grubstein, dates back to the 1930s and offers a unique blend of art and history. The image, created in graphite on paperboard, showcases a flat iron stand in the shape of George Washington, the first President of the United States of America. The stand, adorned with intricate details, features a portrait of Washington on the base, with his likeness extending upwards to form the arms of the flat iron holder. The flat iron, a common household appliance during the 20th century, is depicted as a "Sad Iron," a term used for irons with a flat, smooth sole that required no rocking motion to use effectively. The stand, a functional yet decorative artifact, would have been a prized possession in American homes during the 1930s. Grubstein's design is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the era, merging the practicality of a flat iron stand with the symbolism of American heritage. The print is a period item that adds depth and character to any art collection, art centre, or art gallery. The political undertones of the design, with Washington's image prominently displayed, add an intriguing layer of meaning to this seemingly ordinary household item. This piece is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American-made decorative arts, and is a must-have for anyone with an interest in American history, politics, or design. The "George Washington Flat Iron Stand" by Milton Grubstein is a captivating piece that transcends its functional purpose and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States.
