EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite on paperboard drawing by Herman Bader, entitled "Pa. German Flat-iron Holder, 1937," showcases the intricate detail and artisanal craftsmanship of a bygone era. The image depicts a flat-iron holder, a common household appliance in the Pennsylvania German community during the 1930s and 1940s. The holder is adorned with a heart motif, featuring cherubs or putti, which were popular decorative elements in Pennsylvania Dutch folk art. Bader's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the cherubs' wings, their curling tendrils, and the intricate patterns on the flat iron itself. The holder's scale is not specified in the title, but it appears to be of a reasonable size, suggesting that it would have been a functional and decorative addition to a Pennsylvania German kitchen or bedroom. The drawing is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Pennsylvania German colony, which flourished in the eastern United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. Bader's work is a valuable contribution to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial Revival and Art Deco periods. This striking image, with its angelic motifs and functional design, is a reminder of the beauty and artistry that can be found in the most commonplace objects of our past.
