Jade in British Columbia and Alaska, and its use by the natives
A 1923 monograph published in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, written by George Thornton Emmons on jade artifacts from British Columbia and Alaska and how Indigenous peoples there used the stone. The pictures are plain photographs of objects set on pale ground, each labelled with a letter, showing the dense dark green and grey stone surfaces, rounded and polished forms, and worn edges that a designer might study for natural stone texture and tonal range.
