Description: This image depicts Yaghan indigenous inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego, also called "Fuegians" on Tierra del Fuego. Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The archipelago consists of a main island Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego divided between Chile and Argentina, and a group of smaller islands including Cape Horn. The Yaghan, also called Yagán, Yahgan, Yámana or Yamana, are the indigenous inhabitants of the islands south of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego extending their presence into Cape Horn. They were known as Fuegians by the English speaking world, but the term is nowadays avoided as it can refer to any of the indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego. They spoke the Yaghan language which is considered to be a language isolate. The Yaghan were nomads who traveled by canoes between islands to collect food. The men hunted sea lions while the women dove to collect shellfish. You are bidding on a print dating from 1920. This beautiful print has sepia (brown) tone on thick paper. It utilizes a fine random-dot pattern for fluid tones and fine detail (when compared to the more common half-tone processes common today.) There is a detailed story on the back that describes the image. The page measures approx. 9.25 x 6.75 inches (23.5 x 17.2 cm) with just a narrow margin and a small caption below.
