If you have been viewing this blog for a while you may have noticed small marks above or below some of the prints, these marks help the prints load into the computer storage file. I don't know why the smaller images are rejected but they often are.

This is a good time to discuss “size” with respect to these works. The Indigenous American artist were very accomplished engravers and attention to tiny detailed compositions was their love in work. Many of the prints viewed here are enlarged somewhat in the process of preparation. I like the larger image, as it does make the picture easier to see. Please do bear in mind however that many of the examples are actually less than one inch square! I think that this is another point where that we can see the influence of early artist on the 19^th and 20^th and now the 21^th centuries. Miniaturization is a modern and post-modern reality. Here we can see that artist began this concept quite long ago.
