EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor gouache pen and ink drawing by Ethel Clarke, titled "Toy Bank," dates back to the 1930s and offers a charming glimpse into the past. The image showcases a young boy in a casual outfit, holding a baseball bat, standing next to an intricately designed mechanical toy bank. The bank, adorned with various sports-themed decorations, including a baseball and a basketball, is a testament to the playful spirit of the era. The boy's expression of determination and focus as he prepares to deposit his savings into the bank is both endearing and inspiring. The Toy Bank is a beautiful example of the decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s in America. Ethel Clarke's skillful use of color and detail brings the toy bank to life, making it a standout piece in any art collection. The Toy Bank is a period item that evokes memories of a simpler time, when saving money was a cherished activity, and toys were handcrafted works of art. The Toy Bank is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, which documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period through the 1940s. This artwork is a valuable contribution to the heritage of American art and a testament to the creativity and imagination of Ethel Clarke. The Toy Bank is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
