Husmodern 33, 1937, has its cover missing, but on its front, page three I find an object familiar to me from a drawing I did in Sweden in 1990 - it is the stove with the same tight spirals of thick wire for handles. The handles must have gotten hot, so thick metal was the best material for them. A potholder must have fit into the spirals, ready for the time to open the oven door.
Serva: till verklig tjanst i ert kok - Serva: to truly serve in the kitchen
Om familjemedlemnarna ata pa olika tider, ar Serva den spis, Ni behover! (If family members eat at different times, Serva is the stove we need!)
The drawing has draped across its top a piece of rhubarb from the garden.
