Superb Hand Engraved Native American "Indian" Wooden Printing Block


c. 1830, Hand Engraved Wooden Printing Block, Image of A Native American "Indian," Choice Fine.
Measuring 1.5" x 1.75" x .75" thick, this original hand-engraved wooden printing block has a "cut" of an Indian standing beside a barrel filled with tobacco and smoking it with a long-stemmed pipe. Likely Southern, this is a classic image. Vertical crack through the Indian from age, but still capable of giving a nice clear impression. A fabulous and historic illustration woodblock of an Early American "Indian" image. This specific block can be found on page 119, illustration #7 of "2000 Early Advertising Cuts", edited by Clarence P. Hornung, published in 1995.
