Transcription: A Poster Exhibition About the index of American Design. Glory be to God for dappled things-For skies of couple-color as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chesnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pierced-fold, fallow, and plough; And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.-Gerard Manley Hopkings.
Description: A poster based on a painting by Henry Tomaszewski of a rocking horse created as a part of the Index of American Design program of the United States government that ran from 1935 to 1942.

Series Description
The twenty-eight posters in this series were designed in 2022-2023 by Roy R. Behrens, UNI Professor Emeritus and Distinguished Scholar. His intention was to celebrate the efforts of the original American craftspeople, the artists who made the interpretive images, and government sponsorship of the Index of American Design. Many more of the original images, as well as more information, can be found online at the National Gallery of Art.
