EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Toy Bank: 'Waste Not - Want Not', c. 1938" by William O. Fletcher takes us back to the vibrant era of 1930s America. The image showcases a beautifully designed toy bank, painted in striking blue and red colors, representing the concept of saving and finance. The Toy Bank is an exquisite piece of art that reflects the cultural heritage and creativity prevalent during that time period. Created using watercolor gouache graphite and pen and ink on paper, Fletcher's attention to detail is evident in every stroke. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this artwork holds great historical significance as part of the Index of American Design collection. It symbolizes not only a country's financial culture but also its values around resourcefulness and frugality – "Waste Not - Want Not". As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a different era where toys were not just objects for play but also tools for teaching important life lessons about money management from an early age. William O. Fletcher's artistic prowess shines through in this masterpiece, capturing both the imagination and nostalgia associated with childhood toys. This print serves as a reminder that even simple objects like piggy banks can hold deep meaning within our society's collective memory.
