Relations of Aboriginal culture and environment in the Lesser Antilles
A 1914 New York anthropological study by Jesse Walter Fewkes on Aboriginal culture and environment in the Lesser Antilles, aimed at scholars of Caribbean Indigenous peoples. The picture is a 1916 Heye Foundation bookplate for the Museum of the American Indian, with a central roundel holding a bison, crossed pipes, a tomahawk, corn and tobacco leaves, and columns framing the composition. A designer could take its symmetrical, classical emblem layout, with laurel swags and a central medallion, as a model for institutional seals.
