Electrical sewing machine, 1900

Electrical sewing machine. Historical artwork of a woman using a 19th-century electrical sewing machine. She is using her feet to operate a pedal that moves an electrical contact over a rheostat (the device underneath the main body of the sewing machine). This alters the resistance of the electrical circuit and speeds up or slows down the sewing machines needle, as required. The electric motor here is one that was designed by French inventor Gustave Trouve (1839-1902). He patented his small electric motor, first used in boats, in 1880. The sewing machine was invented in the late 18th century. The modern electric motor was invented in the 1870s. Artwork from A Travers l Electricite (G. Dary, Paris, 1900)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical artwork captures a significant moment in the evolution of sewing machines and electrical technology. The image showcases a woman skillfully operating a 19th-century electrical sewing machine, highlighting the ingenuity of early inventors. The woman is seen using her feet to operate a pedal that controls an electrical contact over a rheostat, which adjusts the resistance of the circuit and regulates the speed of the needle. This innovative mechanism was made possible by French inventor Gustave Trouve's small electric motor, patented in 1880. The artwork reminds us that while sewing machines were invented in the late 18th century, it wasn't until the advent of modern electric motors in the 1870s that they truly became efficient and versatile tools. This technological advancement revolutionized home industries like garment production, enabling faster and more precise stitching. The illustration also highlights how electricity transformed various aspects of daily life during this period. It symbolizes progress and industrialization as well as women's involvement in cottage industries. The vibrant colors used add depth to this piece from "A Travers l'Electricite" published in Paris in 1900. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to human innovation and our constant pursuit of technological advancements throughout history.
