EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a bygone era in American history. Created by Walter Hochstrasser, this charming toy bank from the late 1930s takes us back to a time when innocence and imagination were cherished. The attention to detail is remarkable as every aspect of the miniature policeman is meticulously depicted. Dressed in his iconic blue uniform with a coat and hat, he stands tall with his hand confidently placed on his hip. The truncheon held firmly in his other hand symbolizes authority and protection. Hochstrasser's use of watercolor graphite and gouache on paper brings life to this delightful piece. The vibrant colors highlight the intricate clothing, from the officer's jacket down to his polished shoes.

It represents more than just a novelty item; it reflects values such as thriftiness, responsibility, and financial stability that were highly regarded during that period.
