EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a hand-carved Cigar Store Indian sculpture by N. H. Yeckley, created around 1940. The Cigar Store Indian is a traditional American folk art figure, originating in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, that was commonly used as a decorative advertisement for tobacco and cigar shops. Yeckley's interpretation of this classic design is a vibrant and intricately detailed work of art. The Cigar Store Indian is depicted in full regalia, wearing a multi-colored loincloth, feather headdress, and holding a cigar in one hand and a ceremonial pipe in the other. The sculpture is expertly hand-carved from richly colored and textured wood, with each feature meticulously crafted to bring the figure to life. The image captures the essence of the 1930s and 1940s, a time when such functional and decorative arts were cherished for their unique character and craftsmanship. This piece, with its bold colors and intricate details, would have been a striking addition to any storefront or home during this period. Today, the Cigar Store Indian by N. H. Yeckley is a valuable and intriguing piece of American heritage art. It is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the United States and the enduring appeal of folk art. This photograph, taken at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of this unique and captivating work of art.
