Rutherford B. Hayes Piggy Bank

"Exhibition Label: In the summer of 1876, sculptor Olin Warner tried to interest the two major political parties in commissioning busts of their presidential candidates to be replicated for campaigning. The Republican camp, which was having a hard time drumming up interest in the rather colorless Rutherford B. Hayes, took advantage of the proposal. At least one Hayes supporter pinned great hopes on the resulting likeness's ability to persuade a so-far doubting public that Hayes was "a man of power." The venture for replicating the bust on a large scale, however, never went very far, and only a few copies were ever made." Data SourceNational Portrait Gallery

The sculpture is in the public domain and can be downloaded and manipulated freely. I decided to use it for its historical value and because it's a very nice artifact. Few designers would think to use it as a piggy bank.
