EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Shaker Wash Stand with Drawers, created by Irving I. Smith between 1935 and 1942. The artist's notes describe this particular piece as an infirmary three-drawer wash stand, highlighting its functional design. The photograph transports us back to mid-20th century America, where this wooden wash stand stood proudly in hospitals or perhaps even private homes. Its simple yet elegant design reflects the Shaker style that emerged in the 19th century, known for its clean lines and practicality. The color image brings out the warmth of the wood, accentuating its natural beauty. Each drawer is meticulously crafted and offers ample storage space for linens or other items. This period item represents a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and functionality. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art's Index of American Design collection, this photograph captures not only an object but also a slice of American heritage art. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich artistic legacy and showcases how everyday objects can be transformed into works of art. Irving I. Smith's skillful watercolor technique combined with graphite on paperboard breathes life into this timeless piece of furniture. As we admire this print, we are reminded to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and historical significance that such objects hold within them.
