Progress and Art








Here we see this modern Machine.
It is used to sew clothes and other stuff.
I does a pretty good job.











But I would like to compare it with these older models.










Isn't it amazing how much attention was given to pure decorative embellishment.

This stuff is beautiful, but it was still quite functional. Sometimes it seems we lose something in the cause of progress.



This Blog is nonpolitical, but since this is an election year, I would like to point out that The Fuzz's inflammatory political views can still be found at http://fuzzypol.blogspot.com/.

Appliances used to also be furniture. Not anymore. What all that scroll work says to me is "pride in workmanship". Today things are just cranked out in factories, very impersonal.
