EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Pa. German Flat-iron Holder, c. 1938" by Albert Taxson, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Pennsylvania German art and domestic life during the 1930s. The image showcases a simple yet elegant flat-iron holder, a common household appliance in rural Pennsylvania Dutch communities at the time. The flat iron holder, made of metal, is designed with a rustic, utilitarian charm. Its graphite rendering on paperboard adds depth and texture, bringing the object to life. The flat iron, a sad iron, rests atop the holder, its smooth, flat surface ready for use. The holder's design is both functional and decorative, reflecting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Pennsylvania German people. The photograph is an important artifact of American history, showcasing the unique cultural traditions and domestic practices of a specific region and time period. It is a testament to the enduring influence of Pennsylvania German art and design on American culture. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where this print is housed, recognizes the significance of this piece as part of the Index of American Design. The collection, established in the 1930s, documents the visual arts of the United States and its peoples from the colonial period to the present day. This photograph print by Albert Taxson is a valuable addition to the gallery's holdings, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our nation.
