Petroglyphs of Saint Vincent, British West Indies

Huckerby, Thomas · 1914 · Lancaster, Pa., Press of the New era printing company · 6 pictures

A 1914 Lancaster, Pennsylvania publication by Thomas Huckerby, issued by the Press of the New Era Printing Company, documenting petroglyphs on the island of Saint Vincent in the British West Indies for a scholarly and archaeological readership. The photographs show carved rock faces with incised figures, spirals, and geometric marks set among grass and vegetation, with some plates printed sideways. A designer might take the raw, scratched linear quality of the carvings as a model for primitive or ancient mark-making motifs.
