EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by British-born artist Bernard Westmacott, titled "Wafer Iron," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The intricately detailed graphite drawing on paperboard showcases a classic kitchen utensil, a wafer iron, with an engraved design that epitomizes the functional elegance of the era. Measuring approximately 14 inches by 11 inches, this scale drawing offers a close-up view of the wafer iron's decorative elements. The wafer iron, a kitchen essential for making toasted wafers or bread, is depicted in its entirety, from the ornate handle to the intricately engraved plates. The iron's design, with its geometric patterns and flowing lines, is a testament to the artistic sensibilities of the time. Westmacott's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way he has captured the texture of the iron's surface, the subtle shading, and the precise representation of the measurements and index markings. The wafer iron's rich color and contrasting textures make it a striking addition to any art collection, and its connection to the heritage of American kitchenware adds historical significance. Originally created in the late 1930s, this print is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive archive of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The wafer iron, with its timeless design and artistic merit, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and functionality of everyday objects.
