Mrs. Evans Seawell and Mrs. Henry Rogers: Two Pioneering Women of the American Knitting Industry, 1910-1920 This photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, showcases two women, Mrs. Evans Seawell and Mrs. Henry Rogers, engaged in a groundbreaking pastime that would revolutionize the apparel industry: knitting with machines. The image presents a striking contrast between the traditional and the modern. Mrs. Seawell, dressed in a simple, beaded blouse and apron, operates a hand-cranked knitting machine, her focused expression reflecting the dedication and skill required to produce intricate knitwear. Mrs. Rogers, attired in a fashionable, high-collared blouse and a sophisticated, beaded apron, observes her friend's work with keen interest, her hands adorned with delicate embroidery needles. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early 20th century. The introduction of knitting machines marked a significant shift in the apparel industry, enabling mass production of high-quality knitwear and making it more accessible to the general public. The women in this image, with their dedication and expertise, were at the forefront of this transformative period. The black-and-white glass negative, a testament to the rich heritage of American photography, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the ingenuity and perseverance of these two women and the impact they had on the world of fashion and industry.
