EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cigar Store Pocahontas, 1935/1942" transports us back to a bygone era in American history. Created by an unknown artist, this artifact beautifully captures the essence of Native American culture and its influence on early 20th-century America. The image features a wooden Indian statue known as a Cigar Store Indian, proudly standing outside a local cigar shop. Adorned with vibrant feathers and traditional attire, the statue represents Lady Rebecca Matoaka, famously known as Pocahontas. Her presence serves as a reminder of the indigenous heritage that shaped our nation's identity. Through watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paperboard technique, the artist skillfully brings out every intricate detail of this historical object. The warm colors evoke nostalgia for simpler times when smoking cigars was not only fashionable but also deeply ingrained in social customs. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an era where advertising took on different forms - where wooden statues like these were used to attract customers to enter tobacco shops. This piece is part of the Index of American Design collection which showcases various aspects of American life during the 1930s and 1940s. Intriguingly mysterious due to its unknown creator, this print invites us to reflect upon our country's rich cultural tapestry while reminding us that even seemingly ordinary objects can hold profound historical significance.
