"Spruce Root Basketry of the Haida and Tlingit provides the largest library of color images of Haida and Tlingit baskets ever published, many of them for the first time. The skillful photography of Ron Reeder presents a visual history of spruce root basketry from the 1850s to the present. He captures the lustrous patina of the old baskets made for traditional Native uses as well as the impressive variety of baskets made for sale in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
His photographs also portray contemporary baskets made by weavers who are a living part of a long tradition.".
"Historical photographs enhance the account of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and provide a visual counterpoint to the vibrant color images of today's baskets. Drawings by Margaret Davidson explain the complex weaving techniques used for millennia in making these baskets.
The combination of compelling images and informative text makes this book a welcome addition to the literature of basketry and Northwest Coast art for students, collectors, and admirers of this art form."--BOOK JACKET.
