About the Item

"Guardian of Nootka Sound: A Lyddiker Etching from John Webber's Artistry" This engraving presents a compelling female figure from Nootka Sound, captured with the intricate detail characteristic of Lyddiker's etchings. The original drawing, crafted by John Webber, was part of the visual documentation for George Alexander Cooke's "Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography." Dated around 1795, this piece of historical art offers a window into the visage and cultural attire of the indigenous peoples of the North West Coast of America during the late 18th century (Alaska). It reflects the era's dedication to recording and understanding the diversity of the world's inhabitants through the expanding field of geography.
