An amazing 40x40 inch art piece made entirely out of cigar bands by a prisoner circa 1909.

This was an art piece they had recently received for their art gallery, and I thought it was so crazy, that I had to post it here. I made sure to give credit to the store, as they're the ones who received it and took the pictures.
I called this Folk Art as it does not have a name, and that's the only way the store (or I) could classify it. It was made by a person who was in prison circa 1909 (judged by the president portraits ending at around Teddy Roosevelt, so 1909 at the latest).
Love this. I live next to a prison and they display their art in a prison store. It’s amazing what they can do with gum wrappers, toilet paper, paint chips etc.. true art
