Toy Bank - Stump Speaker, c. 1938 - A Nostalgic Reminder of American Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and creativity of Pearl Torell's "Toy Bank: Stump Speaker". Created in the late 1930s, this mechanical bank captures a pivotal period in American history. The toy bank depicts an orator standing atop a wooden stump, passionately addressing an imaginary crowd. Crafted from cast iron with meticulous attention to detail, it exudes both charm and nostalgia. The black color adds depth and character to this period item. Torell's artistic prowess shines through her use of watercolor pen and ink on paperboard. The combination of these mediums brings life to the toy bank, evoking memories of a bygone era when such toys were cherished possessions. As we gaze upon this piece at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we are transported back to a time when public speaking held immense importance as a means for social change and political discourse. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Torell's talent but also represents America's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even everyday objects like toys can carry profound historical significance. Let us marvel at Torell's skillful design while appreciating the artistry behind this delightful artifact from our past.
