About this book
The text says Fig. 185 represents a shark devouring a halibut, from the upper part of a totem pole. The text says Fig. 186 is the handle of a copper dagger on which the mouth with depressed corners, the curved lines on the cheeks, and the ornament rising over the forehead characterize the shark. The text says Fig. 188 is a copy of a tattooing on the back of a Haida woman.
The list of figures includes, among others, a painting from the bow of a canoe representing the wolf, Kwakiutl, and a house post, Haida. The text concludes that besides the influence of the technique there must be some other causes that determine the individual style of each area. The speaker says he doubts very much that it will ever be possible to give a satisfactory explanation of the origin of these styles.
