This notebook isn't just a practical tool; it's a tangible piece of nostalgia, perfect for jotting down your most whimsical thoughts. Let the carousel horse's dynamic pose inspire your creativity, as you carry a piece of American leisure history in your hands, bridging past and present with every word you write.

About the Artist

Henry Murphy was a contributor to the Index of American Design. A program of the Federal Art Project that produced a detailed pictorial survey of the crafts and decorative arts in the United States. Between 1935 and 1942, around 400 artists contributed to the creation of 18,257 watercolor drawings, which are now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The collection aimed to document American decorative and folk arts, capturing cultural heritage more as archival record than personal artistic expression. The Index's objective was to establish a contextual foundation for American art and design by documenting crafts and objects created between the colonial era and the late 19th century. Among the outcomes of this vast endeavor was Clarence Hornung's "Treasury of American Design," and it also served as an employment program, providing jobs for about a thousand individuals across 34 states.
