Patch Boxes of Kentucky Rifles, c. 1937 - Preserving the Craftsmanship and Heritage Art of America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Albert J. Levone showcases a collection of patch boxes from Kentucky rifles, offering a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of American firearms. Created in the late 19th to early 20th century, these intricately engraved metal boxes served as both decoration and functional components on these iconic weapons. Levone's expertly captured image highlights the exquisite craftsmanship that went into each patch box, displaying their decorative designs and pierced patterns with stunning clarity. The vibrant colors rendered in watercolor and gouache bring life to this snapshot of American history. Located at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork is part of Levone's contribution to the Index of American Design project during the 1930s-1940s. By documenting various aspects of American culture, including weaponry like these patch boxes, Levone aimed to celebrate his country's artistic heritage. The yellow hues present throughout the composition add warmth and evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era marked by war and conflict. These weapons were not only tools but symbols representing America's resilience during challenging times. Through this photograph, Albert J. Levone invites viewers to appreciate not only the functionality but also the beauty found within historical artifacts such as these patch boxes—a testament to America's enduring craftsmanship and artistic legacy.
