-Covered Bridge- still bank c. 1960s

"Covered Bridge- still bank" (c. 1960s) by John Wright (1880 - unknown) is a small, painted metal model of a covered bridge, representing a popular architectural feature in rural America. The piece, held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a charming example of folk art, with the bridge's red siding, white trim, and weathered brown roof conveying a sense of rustic charm. This diminutive depiction of a quintessential American landmark, with its whimsical details and small scale, may have served as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times, a treasured souvenir, or a playful decorative object. The bank's original use, however, remains unknown.
