A Charming Scene of Gnome Mechanics at Work: A Turn-of-the-Century Sewing Machine Repair This postcard image, produced by Biesolt & Locke at the Meissen Sewing Machine Works in Meissen, Saxony, Germany around 1906, presents a delightful scene of three gnome mechanics diligently working to repair a young girl's apron using an Afrana treadle-powered sewing machine. The gnomes, with their pointy hats and rosy cheeks, are deeply focused on their task, holding various sewing tools and candlesticks to illuminate their work. The girl, tired and fast asleep, lies peacefully on a bed of soft fabrics, her apron the only item in need of attention. The Afrana sewing machine, with its intricate design and vintage charm, sits at the heart of the scene. Powered by a treadle, this machine was a common choice for home sewers during the early 20th century. The gnomes' deft hands and meticulous attention to detail highlight the machine's functionality and durability, making it an essential tool for mending and creating garments. This postcard, with its whimsical take on the everyday task of sewing machine repairs, offers a delightful glimpse into the past. It showcases the charm and ingenuity of the early 20th century, when industrious gnomes could be found mending aprons and other garments with the help of Afrana sewing machines.
