EDITORS COMMENTS
Ada V. May's captivating artwork, titled "Baby Shoe, c. 1937," transports us back in time to the heart of the 1930s and 1940s in America. This evocative watercolor and graphite rendering on paperboard showcases a charming pair of baby shoes, a precious relic from the past. The shoes, designed in the style of a carriage boot, are crafted from supple, light brown cowhide, with intricate laces that add a touch of elegance to the functional footwear. The image, created by the talented American artist Ada V. May, is a testament to the rich heritage of decorative arts and childrenswear during this period. The shoes, with their timeless design, embody the spirit of infancy and the innocence of childhood in the United States during the thirties and forties. The artwork, now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., serves as a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of bygone eras. May's masterful use of color and her ability to capture the essence of a simple object elevate this piece to the realm of fine art. The baby shoe, with its brown hue and decorative laces, stands out as a cherished item from a time long past, inviting us to reflect on the history and traditions of children's apparel in America.
