-Horse Race c. 1871

"Horse Race" is a cast iron mechanical bank created by John Hall circa 1871. The bank depicts a horse race with jockeys riding horses around a circular track. A black figure stands in the background holding a stone wall as a barrier to the race. The bank is painted in red, blue, and black and the bottom has an intricate design of a building with a door and windows. This piece is currently in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art and is a fine example of a nineteenth-century mechanical bank.
