EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tortoise Shell Comb, created by the talented artist Erwin Schwabe in 1936. The comb, a functional accessory of its time, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Its intricate design and ornamental details make it a true work of art. The comb's rich brown color and tortoiseshell pattern add depth and character to this period item from the 1930s-1940s. It is evident that Schwabe paid meticulous attention to detail as he captured every curve and line with watercolor gouache and graphite on paper. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece represents American heritage art at its finest. As we admire this exquisite creation, we are transported back to an era when fashion played a significant role in self-expression. Intriguingly inset within the frame is an index of American design, showcasing how this comb fits into the broader context of decorative arts during that time period. This inclusion invites us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind Schwabe's creation. As we delve into the world of women's fashion from decades past, it becomes clear that accessories like this tortoise shell comb were essential elements for completing any ladieswear ensemble. With its heart-shaped motif delicately carved into its handle, one can imagine how it added charm and glamour to hairstyles back then. Erwin Schwabe's Tortoise Shell Comb serves as both a reminder of our country's artistic heritage
