  1. It feels like there's all kinds of symbolism I'm missing the point of... but they are nice to look at.

  9. Were Commerce and Labor the only ones there, or are there more? I love it when Art can be present in other aspects of our lives, even somthing as irritating (to me) as banking--thanks for sharing!

  12. I love architectural details like this. They don't bother with them on modern buildings... I guess they'd cost too much.

    Nice captures!

    Judging from these images, Sandy, I'd say that the banks in Waterbury are classier than the banks here. Happy WW.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Nice pieces of carvings... A lot of people come in and go out of banks but I bet a lot of them don't even notice the carvings. Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Beautiful brass reliefs...
    Is the bank still in business today? (sigh)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Beautiful works of art!

    Happy Wednesday!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Made of brass or wood? Anyway, they are beautiful and looks great on a bank. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Historical buildings are great art sites, now buildings are kinda just put together without much thought to beauty and meaning.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Those are very impressive images.
    I wonder what they represent for the bank, though...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Happy WW! Very unique images...

    I invite your blog readers to see one result of our nation's economic crisis ... the Zero-Dollar bill. (smile)

    These are very interesting, Sandy. There is surely a story to go with them, yes?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Those are works of art! But they do not seem very bank-like.

    ReplyDelete
  47. My bank isn't that pretty, it's more... square and brown and boring!

    I don't know exactly where Waterbury is, but it sounds British. The first image looks very East Indian to me.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Very interesting works. Brass cast? Too bad today's modern architecture largely embraces the utilitarian vs. artistic. Great catch!

    banks usually have precious collections of arts. i see most banks do. sad thing is, most banks don't allow just anybody to take photos of them. much so allow cameras inside their premises. back in the philippines, banks do not allow camersa, even cellphones, inside. am not sure here in canada if they do have the same policy. but am sure they, too, restrict taking photos inside. even some malls, too.

    these are great collections. and great shots, too.

  52. I enjoyed these three photos and the ‘brass horse’ in your previous post. I’ve got to start carrying my camera with me … just because. I’m anything BUT wordless on both blogs today.
    Hugs and blessings,

    ReplyDelete
  55. Those are beautiful. Happy WW! Sorry mine is late.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Wow - these are fantastic. Somehow I don't think the ultra-spare modern logos will be as interesting 100 years from now...

    ReplyDelete
  57. Loved the pictures. Beautiful sculptures.
