EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Horse on Barrel Bank, c. 1938" takes us back to the vibrant era of 1930s America. Created by the talented artist William O. Fletcher, this artwork showcases his exceptional skills in watercolor gouache and pen and ink on paper. The image features a charming horse perched atop a barrel-shaped money box, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. The horse's graceful figure stands out against the colorful backdrop, capturing our attention with its beauty and elegance. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded of the importance of saving and financial responsibility that transcends time. The concept of using piggy banks as tools for teaching children about money management is deeply embedded in American culture, making this artwork an emblematic representation of that tradition. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this masterpiece from Fletcher's collection is part of the Index of American Design—an initiative aimed at preserving and celebrating America's rich artistic heritage. Through his artistry, Fletcher not only captures the essence of country life but also pays homage to American values such as thriftiness and resourcefulness. This timeless creation invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with money while appreciating both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance within our society.
