Provenance: The Charleston Museum. Note: Charleston Museum Director Laura Bragg envisioned these dioramas as traveling museum exhibits in the 1920s. They were available to teachers for classroom use on topics ranging from early civilization to more recent local history such as the production of cotton and indigo. Each box had a space for printed materials and could be folded up for easy transportation. To create the displays Bragg enlisted artist Edward I.R. "Ned" Jennings (1898-1929). An active but mysterious participant in the Charleston Renaissance Jennings had an interest in art theatrics which he combined in work as a set designer and which made him the perfect artist to create these small stages. Jennings was one of the few Charleston artists of the 1920s to experiment with modernist art.
