EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Haida double thunderbird, a vibrant and powerful symbol from the 19th century American Indian culture. The lithograph, created by an anonymous American School artist, beautifully captures the essence of this legendary creature. The Haida double thunderbird is depicted in stunning colors and intricate details, showcasing its significance in Haida mythology. This pictogram represents strength, power, and supernatural abilities within the Pacific Northwest indigenous peoples' beliefs. Originally featured as an illustration for an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians by Garrick Mallery in 1888-89, this historical artwork holds great ethnographic value. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North America's native populations. The image serves as a reminder of how picture writing played a crucial role in communication among these communities during that era. Through carefully crafted engravings like this one, stories were told and passed down through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when art served not only as decoration but also as a means to preserve history and convey profound messages. The Haida double thunderbird litho stands as testament to the enduring legacy of American Indian cultures and their contributions to our collective understanding of art and symbolism.
