The captivating print titled "Whistle and Bells with Coral, c. 1722" by Thomas Edwards takes us back to the heart of 18th century America. This exquisite baby's toy, most likely given as a christening present, showcases the delicate craftsmanship of that era. The use of coral in this piece holds great significance - believed to protect against illness and commonly used for teething purposes. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when decorative objects held deep sentimental value. The silver whistle and bells beautifully contrast against the vibrant color of the coral, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. Its intricate metalwork reflects the skilled artistry prevalent during that period. This artwork is a testament to our rich heritage and serves as a reminder of how toys were once cherished heirlooms passed down through generations. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about life in early America. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Americas gallery, this photograph captures not only an object but also tells a story about our country's cultural history. It symbolizes love and care bestowed upon children centuries ago while showcasing artistic excellence.
