Lunch Box
1935-1942
Edward L. Loper brings a humble, everyday object to life in this charming design study from the late 1930s or early 1940s. The sturdy black metal lunch box features a curved lid, a brass handle, and a heavy latch, but the real star is the vibrant, folk-art style floral and fruit motif painted across its front. It’s a delightful snapshot of American modernism, proving that even the most utilitarian objects—like the vessel holding your midday sandwich—deserve a touch of artistic flair and a splash of color.
