EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Halls Excelsior Bank (mechanical)" created by William O. Fletcher in approximately 1937. The artwork, part of the Index of American Design collection, is a testament to Fletcher's artistic prowess and ingenuity. In this colorful piece, we are transported back to America in the 1930s, where culture and finance intersected in unique ways. The mechanical bank takes center stage as a whimsical representation of saving money during that era. A monkey sits atop the bank, its primate features adding an element of charm and playfulness to the design. Fletcher's use of watercolor gouache and pen and ink on paper brings out vibrant hues that breathe life into this delightful creation. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate patterns adorning the bank itself to the expressive facial features of our mischievous primate friend. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this artwork serves as a reminder of our country's rich heritage in both artistry and financial practices. It sparks curiosity about how people approached saving money during those times while simultaneously showcasing Fletcher's talent for blending creativity with functionality. As we gaze upon this image today, it invites us to reflect on our own relationship with money-saving habits while appreciating the timeless beauty captured by William O. Fletcher over eight decades ago.
