"Pegs: The Versatile Tools of Domesticity and Creativity" Step into the world of pegs, where everyday tasks are transformed into artful expressions. From dressing Shetland shawls to playing NINE MANs MORRIS 2 / 2, these humble yet essential objects have woven themselves into our lives in unexpected ways. In the midst of a DRYING DISMAL DESMOND, a housewife from the 1940s re-enactment strikes a pose with a mouthful of clothes pegs as she hangs out her washing. A snapshot frozen in time, capturing both practicality and playfulness. Travel back further to Victorian times with a fascinating glimpse at a PAGE OF VICTORIAN ADVERTS for household items from 1888. Among them, pegs stand proudly as indispensable tools for every homemaker's arsenal. Even during times of war, pegs played their part. An intriguing WW1 RECRUITMENT POSTER reminds us that even an octopus drying in the sun on Plaka Beach in Crete had its place secured by these trusty companions. Delve deeper into history and discover CLOTHES PINS dating back to c. 1939 by creator Harley Kempter or c. 1938 by Robert Gilson - testament to their enduring presence throughout generations. But it's not just about functionality; there is beauty too. In Ethel Parkinson's "Washing Day, " we witness how creativity intertwines with daily chores as a housewife transforms her laundry line into an artistic masterpiece using vibrant clothes pegs. And let us not forget Faithless Nelly Gray, whose story comes alive through colour litho illustrations - perhaps she found solace amidst her heartbreak while hanging clothes with those very same pegs? From comic postcards depicting women and washing lines in the 20th century to modern-day innovations that make laundry day easier, they have stood the test of time, and are not just tools.
