SHANNON STIRNWEIS (B. 1931) ALASKA BROWNSHANNON STIRNWEIS (B. 1931) ALASKA BROWN BEARShannon Stirnweis (Arizona, New York, New Hampshire Oregon, B. 1931) "Alaska Brown Bear" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card of the 22c Alaska Brown Bear issued on June 13, 1987.
Although several species of Brown Bears are native to a number of regions around the world, the largest of these - and indeed the world's largest living terrestrial carnivore - is the Alaska Brown Bear. Also known as the Kodiak Bear, these Bears may reach nine feet in length and weigh more than three-quarters of a ton. Preferring a solitary life, when spring arrives, these huge Bears shuffle along well-worn trails to salmon-rich streams where they feed after the winter's hibernation. Frequently, the Bears will quarrel over territorial fishing rights. After disputes are settled, they get down to the business of catching fish. Fishing techniques differ between individuals. Some Bears wade out among the fish and squat down so that the currenct boils over them, and when a fish passes by, an effortless head nod or paw swipe yields a meal. Others wait by the banks for fish darting close to shore so a powerful brown paw can pin it down. Still other Bears refuse to fish at all, preferring to sneak off with an unwary neighbor's catch.

EDWARD S. CURTIS, THE NORTH AMERICANEDWARD S. CURTIS, THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN PORTFOLIO XX, 1930Edward S. Curtis, (1868 - 1952) The North American Indian Portfolio XX, 1930, 35 photogravures on Japanese Gampi tissue with original Van Gelder overmats signed in the plate below image: E. S. Curtis Featuring the Nunivak, King Island, Little Diomede Island, Cape Prince of Wales and Kotzebue tribes of Alaska LIMITED EDITION: This Portfolio is from set #96, printed on handmade Japanese gampi tissue paper, quarto, original ¾ brown crushed levant by H. Blackwell of Boston, over beige linen-covered boards, original gilt lettered, with photogravure plates by Suffolk Engraving Company of Boston after photographs by Edward S. Curtis, edited by Frederick Webb Hodge, Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, field research conducted under the patronage of J. Pierpont Morgan. PORTFOLIO: 35 large format photogravures, including a List of Plates reference that is hand letterpress printed on hand-made paper. Loose bound in a hand-made, 3-flap portfolio. Curtis' fieldwork for The North American Indian came to a close during the summer of 1927, when he spent the season with the Eskimos of subarctic and arctic Alaska. Curtis noted that the distinguishing characteristic of these peoples was their adaptability, for they would not have survived in, much less settled in, an area of such severe climate if they were not. Their sophisticated ability to cure and work skins into parkas, boots, and mittens was unparalleled anywhere in North America. The Eskimos were also brilliant makers of equipment, since hunting was an unforgiving pursuit in arctic and subarctic conditions; their kayaks, fishing hooks, spears, and traps were all ingeniously contrived and the hunting weaponry exceptionally deadly. From "Woman and Child - Nunivak", "Ready for Sealing - Nunivak" and "Launching the Boat - Little Diomede Island", it is these aspects which are highlighted in the images of this portfolio. In many ways, Curtis's return to Alaska provided a fitting end to The North American Indian. It brought a sense of closure to the project, but it also must have helped him put his thirty-year odyssey into perspective. As he stated in the introduction to volume twenty, "…great is the satisfaction the writer enjoys when he can at last say to all those whose faith has been unbounded, "It is finished"". 35 photogravures on Japanese Gampi tissue with original Van Gelder overmats Dimensions: Folio: 23 x 19 in.
