EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink drawing, titled "Infant's Dress, c. 1936" by Evelyn Bailey, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of infancy during the 1930s in America. The intricately detailed illustration showcases a delicate, white infant's dress adorned with tiny flowers and leaves, evoking a sense of innocence and charm. The dress, which appears to be made of multiple layers, is carefully rendered with precise lines and shading, revealing Bailey's masterful drafting skills. Bailey's artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive archive of American decorative arts, which includes over 18,000 drawings and watercolors of American-made objects from the colonial period to the 1940s. This illustration, along with others in the collection, provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical significance of American art and design during the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this precious piece, which is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bailey's work. The dress, with its charming design and timeless beauty, continues to captivate viewers and transport them back to a bygone era. The use of monochromatic colors adds to the simplicity and elegance of the illustration, making it a must-see for anyone interested in fashion, art, or American history.
