EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage lantern, created by the talented Mildred Ford in the 1930s or 1940s. The Lantern, with its exquisite design and functional purpose, represents an iconic piece of American art from that era. Crafted using metal and glass materials, this period item exudes both elegance and functionality. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this graphite on paperboard print captures every intricate detail of Ford's creation. The lantern's delicate curves and decorative elements reflect the artistic sensibilities prevalent during that time. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a different decade - a time when lanterns were not only used for lighting but also served as homeware pieces adorning many American households. This artifact symbolizes the rich cultural heritage of America in the mid-20th century. Mildred Ford's Lantern is part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art, showcasing her contribution to preserving American craftsmanship through visual representation. It serves as a reminder of how everyday objects can be transformed into works of art. This print allows us to appreciate Mildred Ford's creativity while offering us a glimpse into America's past. It reminds us that even functional items can possess beauty and become significant symbols within our culture.
