Old Stone Plates
Hello! my name is Larry McCarty. I publish this blog each week to give You the opportunity to see some of the old stone printing plates that I have collected. These art works were created by the American Indians. Many people are not aware that the indigenous peoples that inhabited the Americas were polished draftsmen and engravers as well. We should remember when viewing these art works that some are very old. Their condition does effect the way that the image prints. Some may even be disturbing to some viewers. I actually started this site to give the advanced degree person access to what I consider to be art worthy of public record.
