This print showcases the intricate design of a "Door Handle with Thumb Press" created by Mildred Ford in 1938. The photograph, taken at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , beautifully captures the essence of this functional yet artistic artifact. The door handle, crafted from iron and featuring a thumb press mechanism, represents an iconic piece from America's cultural heritage during the 1930s. Its graphite on paperboard composition adds depth to its visual appeal and highlights Ford's attention to detail. As we gaze upon this period item, we are transported back in time to an era when craftsmanship and artistry were highly valued. This door handle not only served its practical purpose but also added elegance and style to any doorway it adorned. The United States' rich artistic history is exemplified through creations like these that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic beauty. Mildred Ford's work stands as a testament to her talent as an artist and designer within American culture. Whether displayed in an art gallery or admired within our own homes, this Door Handle with Thumb Press serves as a reminder of the creativity and ingenuity that has shaped our country throughout the years.
