The Beothuk Indians

Gatschet, Albert S. (Albert Samuel), 1832-1907 · 1890 · [Philadelphia] : American Philosophical Society · 1 picture

A scholarly monograph on the Beothuk people of Newfoundland by linguist Albert Samuel Gatschet, published in Philadelphia by the American Philosophical Society in 1890 for ethnological and language specialists. Its one picture is a row of schematic line drawings of carved or incised objects, tall tapering shapes with dotted fills and two small circular forms at the right, which suggest a designer might borrow simple geometric motifs and dotted-texture patterns.
