This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of a Basket Makers Splint Gauge, created by Clarence Secor in 1939. The image transports us back to mid-20th century America, where basket making was not only an art form but also a functional occupation. The splint gauge itself is a testament to the skill and dedication of its creator. Made from metal and adorned with watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paperboard, it exudes both beauty and practicality. Its purpose was to measure the thickness of splints used in basket weaving, ensuring precision in every creation. Displayed within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this item represents an important part of American heritage art. It stands as a symbol of traditional craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. The photograph captures the vibrant colors and fine details of this period piece, allowing us to appreciate its design even more. From its delicate curves to its precise measurements, every aspect speaks volumes about Clarence Secor's talent as an artist. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are reminded not only of the artistic mastery behind it but also the rich history embedded within each strand woven together by skilled hands. This print serves as a window into our past—a tribute to those who dedicated their lives to preserving these timeless traditions for future generations.
