Chamberlain, Gala, In a Modern Rendering: The Color Woodcuts of Gustave Baumann, Rizzoli Electa, 2019, pp. 444-445, 592 and 594
Catalog Note:
When speaking about this and one other print, Baumann said, "One of these birds with a design suggesting stars and stripes makes a prophecy transcending the arrival of the Spaniards. Like an old-timer friend of mine, you may insist this design stems from the thirteen colonies; but here it is in a pre-Spanish pictograph."
