Salvador Dali Sewing Machine from Homage to Leonardo Da Vinci

Salvador Dali paid homage to the great inventors by creating a series of original hand colored etchings in 1975. The suite was titled "Homage to Leonardo Da Vinci (Great Inventions)", but the works in the suite were no limited to inventions of Da Vinci's era. Dali paid homage to the inventors of not only the sewing machine, but also the telephone, airplane, automobile, computer circut, hydrolic brake, petrolium, telegraph, light bulb, rocket, harvester, linotype etc.
"Sewing Machine"
Hand signed by Dali in 1975
Limited edition hand signed etching. Hand colored.
22" x 30" on Archival paper.
In 1834, Walter Hunt built America's first (somewhat) successful sewing machine. He later lost interest in patenting because he believed his invention would cause unemployment. (Hunt's machine could only sew straight steams.) Hunt never patented and in 1846, the first American patent was issued to Elias Howe for "a process that used thread from two different sources."

Sewing machines did not go into mass production until the 1850's, when Isaac Singer built the first commercially successful machine. Singer built the first sewing machine where the needle moved up and down rather than the side-to-side and the needle was powered by a foot treadle.
