Reading Stand

1935-1942

Imagine a humble reading stand transformed into a burst of color and pattern! E. Boyd sketched this lively design between 1935 and 1942, capturing the essence of traditional Hispanic folk art in New Mexico. The stand is tilted dynamically, adorned with bold red, white, and green stripes, scalloped edges, and cheerful floral details. Boyd dedicated her life to preserving these cultural treasures, and this vibrant study shows how even everyday objects were crafted with immense care and artistic flair, turning a simple tool for reading into a visual delight.
