EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Charles Von Urban in the 1930s, captures a Pa. German Stove Plate from the 18th century on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The stove plate, a decorative element of the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch or German stove, is a fascinating fusion of the 18th and 20th centuries. The intricately designed ironwork, with its geometric patterns and vibrant colors, is a testament to the rich heritage of Pennsylvania German art. The plate, which is dated to the 18th century, is shown in stark contrast to its grey, industrial-looking background, highlighting its ornate beauty. The scene is set in the National Gallery of Art, a prestigious institution that houses a vast collection of American art, including this period item. The Pa. German Stove Plate is a reminder of the early American colonies, where European settlers brought their unique cultural traditions with them. The plate's presence in a gallery setting underscores its significance as an important piece of American decorative arts. Charles Von Urban, the photographer, expertly captured the essence of this historical artifact, preserving it for future generations. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts from the Colonial Revival and Art Deco periods, including the 1930s and 1940s. The Pa. German Stove Plate, with its intricate design and rich history, continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists, showcasing the enduring influence of the Pennsylvania German and American heritage on American art and culture.
