Soft cover in black pictorial wraps. Minor edgewear and some soiling to bottom edge. 291 pp. Includes black-and-white and full-color images. Explores the findings of the Image Recovery Project, born out of necessity with the rediscovery of paintings on artifacts after using infrared film to uncover images that have been hidden for 100 years; this book discusses the communities the work is linked to, regional styles, the images themselves, and much more. From the back panel: "This book helps current generations of Northwest Coast First Nations access the creative achievements of their ancestors and build on the cultural knowledge that the old paintings reveal."
