EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of American folk art from the 1930s. Titled "Cast Iron Toy Bank: Masons" this creation by Chris Makrenos embodies the essence of that era's design and craftsmanship. The toy bank, made entirely of cast iron, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity prevalent during this time. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this money box captures the imagination of both young and old alike. Its whimsical depiction of Masons adds an element of charm to any space it graces. Crafted with watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard, every stroke brings life to this delightful object. Preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this heritage art piece represents a slice of American history. It serves as a reminder not only of our country's artistic achievements but also its financial traditions. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Chris Makrenos, we are transported back to an era where toys were cherished possessions and saving money was instilled at an early age. This cast iron toy bank symbolizes resilience amidst economic challenges faced during the 1930s. Let us marvel at how something as simple as a piggy bank can evoke such nostalgia for a bygone era while reminding us that even small acts like saving spare change can have lasting impact on our lives.
