About the Item

"Echoes of the Northern Shores: A Prince William Sound Woman in Lyddiker's Etching" This detailed engraving, crafted by the skilled hand of Lyddiker, is based on an original drawing by the renowned artist John Webber. It portrays a female figure from the culturally rich region of Prince William Sound. Created for George Alexander Cooke's comprehensive work, "Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography," around the year 1795, this piece embodies the intersection of art, exploration, and anthropology at the dawn of modern geography. The etching stands as a testament to the meticulous recording of indigenous peoples and their customs during the period of great voyages and discoveries.
