EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing by Stanley Chin, titled "Creedmore Penny Bank, c. 1940," transports us back in time to a quintessential American scene from the 1930s or 1940s. The image showcases a man, likely a country gentleman, standing before an intricately designed penny bank in the shape of a toy gun. The bank, named Creedmore Penny Bank, is a charming blend of art and finance, decorative arts and mechanical ingenuity, that was popular during this era. The man, dressed in casual attire, holds the gun-shaped penny bank with a determined expression, as if aiming to save every last penny. The gun's barrel acts as the bank's slot, where coins could be deposited. The gun's metallic sheen and intricate details add a sense of authenticity and allure to the piece. The drawing, with its rich color palette and precise lines, evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us to a simpler time in American history. The Creedmore Penny Bank is a period item that embodies the spirit of the 1930s and 1940s, a time of innovation, savings, and the pursuit of the American Dream. This artwork, now a cherished piece of heritage art, was created by Stanley Chin and is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The drawing is a testament to Chin's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era.
