Attic Door Latch, c. 1936 - A Functional and Decorative Mechanical Device
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the intricate design of an Attic Door Latch created by James M. Lawson in 1936. The latch, a testament to American craftsmanship during the mid-20th century, is a remarkable example of functional art. In this watercolor graphite and gouache on paper depiction, Lawson's attention to detail is evident as he captures every aspect of the latch's construction. The metal device stands out against the muted background with its color and texture meticulously rendered. The attic door latch served not only as a practical mechanism for securing access to hidden spaces but also as an exquisite decorative element within homes across the country. Its presence adds character and charm to any room while remaining true to its purpose. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this period item from the 1930s embodies both heritage and innovation in American design. It offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when even everyday objects were crafted with care and artistic flair. James M. Lawson's artwork invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as part of our cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in seemingly mundane objects – if we take the time to look closely enough.
