EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Comb and Back Scratcher" by George B. Wally, transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The image showcases two simple yet essential tools - a comb and a back scratcher - used by the Penobscot Native Americans of the United States. The tools, depicted in vibrant colors and graphite on paper, are intricately detailed, highlighting their functional beauty. George B. Wally, an American artist, skillfully captured the essence of tribal culture in this piece. The comb, made of wood, is adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Penobscot people. The back scratcher, also made of wood, is elegantly designed with a curved handle and sharp points, perfect for reaching those hard-to-reach spots. The "Comb and Back Scratcher" is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Native American people. These tools were not just functional items but were deeply rooted in their daily life and traditions. Wally's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of these objects makes this print a valuable addition to any collection of decorative arts or Americana. This print is part of the Index of American Design, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering us a window into the daily life of the Penobscot people during the 1930s and 1940s. The "Comb and Back Scratcher" is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence and inspire us today.
