NRG closes forever. What a loss. As great beings, ideas & concepts go under due to the profound affects of Covid. Please indulge in your direct communities...their fragile membrane NEEDS YOU to stay alive....the Big Box companies could give a rip....
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....
"Interior of a Lodge on Vancouver Island" by Paul Kane, 1847. Royal Ontario Museum. Same year, same painter! I can almost see dogs along the far shore...Songhees and Fort Victoria in background. "Return of the War Party." By Paul Kane. 1847. Royal Ontario Museum. Medicine man with mask. Straight of juan de fuca. Paul Kane

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
