Quite a few of these "trading cards" are from a book published in 1787: "Costumes civils actuels de tous les peuples", volume 4: Americas by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (1757-1810). Tis rumoured that they were drawn from descriptions written by Cook.I think this is a natural deduction...in my armchair online search for Nootka dog engravings...I found these gorgeous things....multi-cultural gems...no dawgs though...not yet....

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
