EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Two-hand fire drill, Kuskokwim Region, Alaska" takes us back to the 19th century in the remote wilderness of Alaska. The image showcases a significant moment in history when primitive peoples were exploring the early stages of technological development. In this scene, we witness a man from the Kuskokwim region skillfully operating a two-hand fire drill. This ancient tool was used by indigenous communities to create fire through friction. The illustration is part of Otis T Mason's renowned book "The Origins of Invention" which delves into industry among primitive peoples. The print captures not only an important invention but also highlights mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation throughout history. It serves as a reminder that technology has evolved over time and continues to shape our lives today. As we gaze at this historical artwork, we are transported to an era where survival depended on mastering such ingenious techniques. It offers us a glimpse into the resourcefulness and resilience of these early Alaskan inhabitants. This remarkable litho is now preserved in a private collection, allowing us to appreciate its significance in understanding our past. Through this image, we honor both the rich cultural heritage of Alaska's native people and their contributions to human progress.
