EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Pa. German Fireback, c. 1942" by Charles Von Urban, captures the intricate design of an 18th century Pa. German fireback, which was likely used in a fireplace during the Pennsylvania Colony period. The image, taken in the 1930s or 1940s, showcases the fireback's rich decorative details, including the depiction of a woman holding a baby, possibly representing the Virgin Mary, and a Santa figure, reflecting the blending of European and American religious traditions in Pennsylvania German culture. The ironwork is adorned with geometric patterns and scrollwork, typical of the ornate designs prevalent during this time. The fireback, a period item of great historical significance, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch, also known as the Pa. Germans. This photograph, taken by Charles Von Urban, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the decorative arts and religious practices of the Pennsylvania Colony during the 18th and 19th centuries. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. holds this image as part of its Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. The photograph is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that continues to influence American art and design today.
