EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Charles Von Urban in the 1930s or 1940s, showcases a hand-carved Pa. German Springele Mold. The intricately designed mold, originating from the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, dates back to the colonial period. The Springele Mold, also known as a Springel or a Swabian Calf Mold, is a decorative handicraft used in the creation of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch springett pudding or scrapple. The mold, which is shaped like a calf, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania German community in America. The artistry and craftsmanship evident in the mold's design are a reflection of the deep-rooted traditions and values of this unique American folk art. Charles Von Urban, a renowned photographer, captured this image of the Springele Mold in its natural setting, likely in Pennsylvania, where the Pennsylvania Dutch community thrived. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Springele Mold is a striking example of the artistic and cultural contributions made by the Pennsylvania German community to American heritage. Its hand-carved details, from the delicate lines of the calf's body to the intricate patterns on its hooves, are a testament to the skill and creativity of the artisan who crafted it. This photograph not only preserves the visual history of this unique American art form but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence American arts and crafts today.
