Carrier reading-book

Morice, Adrian Gabriel, 1859-1938 · 1894 · Stuart's Lake Mission [B.C.] · 12 pictures

A reading primer in the Carrier language, written by the missionary Adrian Gabriel Morice and printed in 1894 at Stuart's Lake Mission in British Columbia for Carrier-speaking readers. The pictures are small rough woodcut-style vignettes: a ringed dark disc with dotted border, a palm tree beside a tall obelisk-like column, a crucifix with an inscription plate, and a sailing ship with rigging and pennants. A designer could draw on their bold black-and-white line work and tidy, compact spot-illustration format.
