EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Welsh family gathered around a Singer sewing machine in the year 1893. The image, rendered in vibrant color lithography by an anonymous American School artist from the 19th century, showcases the universal appeal of this iconic sewing machine. Originally created as a promotional trade card for the Singer Manufacturing Company, this illustration is part of a series depicting people from various nations utilizing the Singer treadle sewing machine. Published by the J. Ottmann Lithographing Company of New York, it highlights how these machines were embraced worldwide. In this particular scene, we see members of a Welsh family proudly posing with their prized possession. The women don elegant traditional dresses and stylish hats while engaging in their craft. Meanwhile, men stand alongside them, showcasing their support and involvement in domestic activities. The advertisement not only emphasizes the popularity and manufacturing prowess of Singer but also celebrates Wales' rich cultural heritage within an American context. This vintage trade card serves as both an artifact of commerce and industry and as a testament to how sewing machines became integral to households across America during that era. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history—an ode to craftsmanship and familial bonds woven together through time on that fateful day captured over a century ago.
