Publisher's Comments
Indians in northeastern North America produced a variety of art objects for sale to travelers and tourists during the 18th and 19th centuries. This art is of high quality and great aesthetic interest, but has been largely ignored by scholars. This study combines fieldwork, art historical analysis, and historical contextualization to compare Native souvenirs to Euro-American decorative arts and home crafts. Includes b&w and color photos of pieces and their makers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
