EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a collection of household items from the 18th century, providing us with a glimpse into the domestic life of that era. The print showcases an array of objects including a charcoal foot-warmer, four fat-oil lamps, one candle sconce, a tin lantern, and an intriguing toaster. The foot-warmer stands out as the centerpiece of this composition. Its intricate design suggests both functionality and elegance. Surrounding it are the oil lamps, each exuding its own unique charm with their vintage appeal. The solitary candle sconce adds another layer of warmth to this tableau. The tin lantern catches our attention with its rustic appearance and hints at how lighting was achieved in earlier times. Lastly, we have the enigmatic toaster which piques our curiosity about how bread was toasted during this period. This image is sourced from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan published in 1937 by Tudor Publishing Company. It serves as a visual representation of historical artifacts that were once integral parts of everyday life in colonial America. As we gaze upon these relics from centuries past, we are reminded not only of their practical purpose but also their significance within American history. This photograph invites us to appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind these timeless pieces while igniting our imagination about life in early America.
