EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Pennsylvania German Hanging Salt Box, created by Betty Jean Davis in 1939. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and pen mark, as she expertly captures the essence of this historical piece. The salt box itself is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic traditions of Pennsylvania Germans. Its wooden structure, painted with vibrant colors and adorned with intricate designs, reflects the fusion of German and American influences that defined this unique art form. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to America in the 1930s. The hanging salt box serves not only as a functional object but also as an emblematic representation of a bygone era. It symbolizes both practicality and beauty, blending seamlessly into any kitchen or living space. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece stands proudly among other notable works from various artists across different periods. Betty Jean Davis's inscription on the lid further adds depth to our understanding of her creative process and connection to her Pennsylvania Colony roots. Through watercolor graphite and pen-and-ink techniques on paper, Davis has immortalized this remarkable artifact for generations to come. This photograph print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its historical significance within American art history.
