The Indians of Tierra del Fuego
A 1928 ethnographic monograph by S. K. Lothrop of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, New York, documenting the Indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego, chiefly the Ona and Yahgan, for a museum and scholarly readership. The plates are photographs of material culture: a coarse woven basket with a rough, open lattice, a crumpled hide or skin sheet, a dense shaggy fur pelt, and a leather strap with a small carved object, offering designers raw texture studies of weave, hide, and fur.
