EDITORS COMMENTS
Billethead from Ship 'Favorite' (1938) is a stunning work of art by American artist Hazel Hyde. This piece, created in the late 1930s, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in wood carving. The intricately detailed billethead, or decorative head of a ship's anchor, is carved from rich, dark wood, bringing a sense of strength and history to the viewer. The 'Favorite' was a sailing ship that plied the waters of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, an era of significant change and progress in American maritime history. Hyde's billethead is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship that was an integral part of this period. The artist's masterful use of color and texture is evident in this watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard piece. The billethead is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the nautical traditions of the time. The vibrant colors and bold lines add depth and dimension to the piece, making it a standout in any art collection. This functional work of art is a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the important role that ships and sailing played in shaping the country's history. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece as part of its Index of American Design, a valuable collection of American decorative arts and design from the colonial period to the 1940s. Hyde's 'Billethead from Ship 'Favorite' is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, maritime history, or the decorative arts. Its intricate details, vibrant colors, and historical significance make it a true treasure.
