EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Handkerchief Folder, created by Cecily Edwards in approximately 1936. The folder, a true testament to the decorative arts of its time, is an accessory that exudes elegance and sophistication. Its vibrant green color adds a touch of vibrancy to any ensemble. The floral motifs adorning this handkerchief case are meticulously designed, showcasing Edwards' keen eye for detail and her mastery of watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paper. Each motif tells a story, capturing the essence of American fashion in the 1930s and 1940s. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington as part of their Index of American Design collection, this period item represents an important piece of our country's heritage art. It serves as a reminder not only of Edwards' artistic talent but also highlights the significance placed on accessories during this era. As we admire this remarkable creation, we are transported back to a time when clothing was more than just fabric; it was an expression of one's individuality and style. Cecily Edwards' Handkerchief Folder stands as both an artwork and functional object—a fusion between fashion design and fine art—showcasing how even everyday items can be transformed into works worthy of admiration.
