Toast Rack

Mildred Ford

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a mechanical toast rack and its plan view. The main subject of the drawing is a metal toast rack with two semi-circular arches connected by a flat, barred base supported by three legs. Decorative scrollwork is present within each semi-circle. The handle of the toast rack is long with a small loop at the end for hanging. Above the primary drawing is a plan view showing the top-down perspective of a component, depicted with dashed lines indicating hidden elements. This rendering communicates the design and structure of the toast rack clearly.
