EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage Glass Button Hook, created by the talented Francis Law Durand in 1938. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this traditional craft tool. The button hook, an essential accessory during the early 20th century, was used to fasten buttons on clothing with ease. Durand's artistic skills shine through as he meticulously captures every curve and line of this old-fashioned object in pencil drawing and watercolor on paperboard. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece is part of the Index of American Design collection, which celebrates America's rich heritage art. It serves as a reminder of our country's craftsmanship history. Durand's creation transports us back to a time when attention to detail and handcrafted items were valued. The glass handle reflects light beautifully against its metal hook, creating an elegant contrast that adds charm to any haberdashery collection. As we admire this artwork today, it evokes nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural traditions. This photograph not only pays homage to Durand's talent but also highlights his contribution to American art during the 1930s. In this image print from Heritage Images, we can truly appreciate how even everyday objects like a button hook can be transformed into works of art through skillful observation and execution.
