EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Montgomery Ward catalogue of 1895, specifically highlighting housewares. As we delve into this snapshot of late American advertising, we are transported back to a time when innovation and convenience were at the forefront of every household's desires. The engraving depicts an array of essential items that would have adorned the homes of families in turn-of-the-century America. Amongst them, an ice cream maker catches our eye with its intricate design and hand-crank mechanism. This charming contraption would have allowed families to indulge in homemade frozen treats during warm summer days. Adjacent to it, a safe can opener stands proudly, promising ease and efficiency for those seeking access to their canned goods without hassle or risk. The attention to detail is evident as we notice a wine press nearby, symbolizing sophistication and refinement in culinary pursuits. Further down the page, a fruit wringer catches our attention with its practicality. This device would have simplified the process of extracting juice from fruits while preserving their natural flavors—a true testament to ingenuity. As we explore this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's archives, it serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of technological advancements within our households. It also sparks curiosity about the daily lives and aspirations of individuals who lived during this era—individuals who sought comfort and convenience just like us today.
