Bulletin

Smithsonian Institution. Bureau of American Ethnology · 1901 · Washington : G.P.O. · 12 pictures

This is a government ethnology bulletin issued in 1901 by the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology in Washington, a plate-based scientific record of American Indian archaeological material. Its pictures are plain black-and-white photographs of sherds, carved stone pipes or effigies, and rock art, showing incised and painted surface patterns a designer could study for geometric motifs and carved animal-head forms.
