The Harriman National Bank Urges Faith, Courage, and Patience
M. Waddell · Harriman National Bank, 1918
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph M. Waddell drew for the Harriman National Bank in 1918, 68 by 50 cm.
Why it matters
A private bank issued this sheet, and its counsel to a country at war comes in the three words of its title.
What to notice
A war-ravaged field in the foreground and, across the water, a city of skyscrapers with a serene man's face above it, which the Library of Congress suggests may be Uncle Sam's.
Calm, offered from across the water.
