EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Tammany Toy Bank, created by William O. Fletcher in approximately 1937. The image takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of 20th century America, specifically the 1930s, where art and culture flourished. Located within an esteemed art centre or gallery, this artwork represents a unique blend of creativity and finance. Intriguingly designed, the Tammany Toy Bank features a little fat man sitting on a chair with a mischievous grin on his face. This mechanical money box embodies both political symbolism and childhood nostalgia. Known as "John Hall" or "Little Fat Man Bank" it served as a popular savings tool for people across the country during that era. Rendered in watercolor gouache graphite and pen and ink on paper, Fletcher's artistic skills bring life to this extraordinary piece. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the carefully chosen colors to the intricate figure design. The National Gallery of Art in Washington proudly houses this remarkable creation as part of its Index of American Design collection – preserving our rich heritage through art. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exquisite work of art but also an embodiment of American history.
