Sewing Holder c. 1939

This watercolor by Ernest A. Towers, Jr., depicts a "Sewing Holder" which is a type of vintage sewing accessory that could have been used to hold needles and thread. The drawing is in the style of a product illustration, presenting a detailed view of the item. The holder itself is comprised of a series of stacked, circular wooden pieces with an elegant shape, including a knob on top and a pointed bottom. The work is from 1939, capturing a historical glimpse of home crafts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
