EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wedding Garters, c. 1936" by Ella Josephine Sterling takes us back to the enchanting world of 1930s America. The image showcases a beautifully embroidered pair of garters, exuding elegance and charm. Sterling's attention to detail is evident in every stitch, as delicate floral designs adorn the multi-colored fabric with finesse. The vibrant colors bring life to this functional yet decorative item, which was an essential part of ladies' underwear during that period. As we admire this piece from the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , we are transported to a time when craftsmanship and artistry were highly valued in fashion. The garters serve as a reminder of an era where weddings were celebrated with grace and style. They symbolize love and commitment while adding a touch of sophistication to bridal attire. Ella Josephine Sterling's use of watercolor graphite and gouache on paper captures the intricacies of needlework with remarkable precision. This artwork not only preserves our heritage but also celebrates the skillful craftsmanship that defined women's fashion during this era. As we gaze upon this exquisite creation, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both history and beauty within its threads. It serves as a testament to Sterling's talent as an artist and her contribution to preserving American design for future generations to cherish.
