EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative advertising card for Singer Sewing Machines, circa 1916, captures the spirit of patriotism and devotion during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image portrays a dedicated wife, clad in a duster to keep her clothing clean while tending to her tabletop Singer sewing machine. With unwavering determination, she expertly sews a pristine white ensign for her beloved Royal Naval Seaman husband. The ensign, adorned with the Cross of St. George and the Union Jack, symbolizes the couple's unyielding loyalty to the British monarchy and the Royal Navy. The sailor, in his uniform complete with cap and suit, gazes proudly at his wife's work, his naval cap cradled in his hand. The fabric and cloth draped over the table, along with the ensign's intricate stitching, attest to the precision and quality of the Singer sewing machine. This poignant scene encapsulates the deep-rooted sense of duty, love, and perseverance that characterized the lives of many families during the First World War.
