During the last quarter of the nineteenth-century, images of the Haida's immense cedar houses and soaring totem poles were captured, first on glass plates and later on film, by photographers who travelled to then-remote villages such as Masset and Skidegate to marvel at, and record, what they saw there. Haida Monumental Art, initially published as a limited edition hardcover and finally available in paperback, includes a large number of these remarkable photographs, selected from a collection of over 10,000 original prints and photographic plates. They depict the Haida villages at the height of their glory and record their tragic deterioration only a few decades later. As well, this edition contains the complete text from the first edition, including site plans and detailed descriptions of fifteen major villages and several smaller sites, which are catalogued by house and pole. By combining archeology and ethnohistory, George MacDonald presents an integrated framework for understanding the physical structure of a Haida village. He explains how the houses and poles are part of a fascinating web of myth, family history and Haida cosmology, which provides a unique insight into Haida culture.Haida artHaida architectureIndians of North AmericaNorthwest Coast of North AmericaIndian architectureNorthwest Coast of North AmericaHaida art.Haida architecture.Indians of North AmericaIndian architecture730/.89/972MacDonald George F1499702Huyda Richard J1574200MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780679803321Haida monumental art3850325UNINA
