About the Item
Original cover for The Housekeeper magazine, published October 1912.
This original cover for The Housekeeper magazine, published in 1912, offers a charming glimpse into early 20th-century domestic life. The illustration features two senior women sharing a moment of appreciation for a handmade quilt.
The woman facing the viewer holds up a colorful patchwork quilt, looking expectantly at her companion. Her friend, nestled in a rocking chair with a fringed paisley shawl draped over its arm, returns her gaze. The expansive quilt dramatically drapes over both women, pooling onto the floor at their feet. The quilt’s bold mustard yellow vividly contrasts with their austere black dresses, trimmed with delicate white lace, and the crisp white backdrop of the cover, creating a striking visual.
Given the substantial size of the quilt, and the absence of any sewing tools, it appears the woman is proudly presenting her finished handiwork to her friend. The fact that her friend still wears her hat suggests a brief social call to admire the fruits of her companion’s labor. This subtle detail adds a layer of warmth and intimacy to the scene.
The Housekeeper was a Minneapolis-based magazine published by The Housekeeper Corporation. While it featured some fiction , it primarily provided homemakers with practical articles on homemaking, fashion, recipes, and entertaining.
