1855 Communicate Doorway Dwelling Hinge Invented Inviting Lithographic Opening Produced Sons Sunset Persons Quatrefoils Upper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithographic plate, produced by Day and Sons around 1855, showcases an exquisite design for a dwelling house entrance. The entrance is adorned with elegant quatrefoils, which gracefully frame the doorway and allow for inviting light to enter the home. The upper hinge of the doorway features a unique and thoughtful design: an opening at its end. This ingenious invention enables persons to communicate with one another after sunset, adding a touch of convenience and connection to the otherwise traditional entrance design. The intricate details of the plate, from the delicate lines of the quatrefoils to the subtle shading, speak to the skill and artistry of the lithographic process. This beautiful and functional design is a testament to the importance of thoughtful architecture and the role it plays in enhancing daily life. This plate is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online and offers a glimpse into the design sensibilities of the mid-19th century.
