EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a truly unique piece of historical household technology: the Gas Powered Sewing Machine. Invented in 1883, this sewing machine was powered by a gas engine that drew its fuel from a wall socket. While certainly innovative for its time, one can only imagine the noise and smell emitted by such a contraption as it whirred away in someone's home.
Despite the potential dangers associated with using a gas-powered sewing machine, it was likely seen as an improvement over traditional treadling methods. Treadling required physical exertion and could be tiring for seamstresses who spent long hours working on their craft. The introduction of gas power must have been seen as a welcome relief to those looking to increase efficiency and productivity in their sewing endeavors.
As we marvel at this piece of history, we are reminded of how far technology has come in making our lives easier and more convenient. While we may take for granted our modern electric sewing machines, it is important to remember the ingenuity and creativity of inventors like those behind the Gas Powered Sewing Machine. This print serves as a reminder of the progress made in household machinery over the years.
