Book excerpt: Details the basketry and and baskets produced by the Athapascan, Haida, Aleutian, Tlinget, Eskimo & Kuskukwim Native American tribes in Alaska. The baskets described in this work were all drawn from Ms. Cavana's collection which she had acquired while living in Alaska from 1897-1903. Of particular interest are the photographs which appear to be a Kallitype process, in which a translucent paper was soaked with iron ammonium citrate, citric acid, and silver nitrate, and then placed on top of a glass plate negative of the author's baskets emulsion side up, and then removed from the photo printing frame, washed, fixed and then hand-coloured.

Download or read book Baleen Basketry of the North Alaskan Eskimo written by Molly Lee and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-09-14 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baskets made of baleen, the fibrous substance found in the mouths of plankton-eating whales—a malleable and durable material that once had commercial uses equivalent to those of plastics today—were first created by Alaska Natives in the early years of the twentieth century. Because they were made for the tourist trade, they were initially disdained by scholars and collectors, but today they have joined other art forms as a highly prized symbol of native identity. Baskets of exquisite workmanship, often topped with fanciful ivory carvings, have been created for almost a century, contributing significantly to the livelihood of their makers in the Arctic villages of Barrow, Point Hope, Wainwright, and Point Lay, Alaska. Baleen Basketry of the North Alaskan Eskimo, originally published in 1983, was the first book on this unusual basket form. In this completely redesigned edition, it remains the most informative work on baleen baskets, covering their history, characteristics, and construction, as well as profiling their makers. Illustrations of the basketmakers at work and line drawings showing the methods of construction are a charming addition to this book, which belongs in the library of all those with an interest in the art of basketry and in Alaskan Native arts in general.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska Basketry Declaring itself to the public through this, its first publication, the Beaver Club seeks to place itself in that group of idealists that not only believes in dreams, but also believes that by patient, sincere and reverent effort, dreams may be made to come true. There is a dream that many have held and toward the realization of which many have labored - and it is the dream of a thing made glorious through the patient, perceiving labor of those who produce it. To such a vision, and to the manifold works that have been done in the striving towards its realization, the world owes the most of whatever it can boast which is, beyond all else, rare and lovely and infinitely to be desired. In its present and future work, the Beaver Club hopes to add, from Oregon, from the Pacific Northwest, a distinctive and valuable contribution to humanity's store of things rare and beautiful and, as nearly as possible, perfect. The perfection sought is not the infinitely reduplicated perfection that comes through the infallible accuracy of machines, but the perfection that comes through conscious and zealous artistic effort of persons inspired by a desire to attain to a high and sweet ideal. The books of the Beaver Club possibly may never come to be loved and sought after because they are the most beautiful of their kind in the world; but the Beaver Club hopes to make them appreciatively beautiful to the world because their production is to the Club, above everything else, a labor of profound love.
