JOHANNES HANDSCHIN INDIANA. 50 3/8x35 5/8 inches. A. Trüb, Aarau. Condition A. Paper. Most commonly in the form of a cigar store Indian, the image of Native Americans has long been associated with tobacco; and for good reason, as tobacco was the New World's gift to Europe. Against a mustard colored background this brown-skinned chief, with a red head dress adorned with black and white feathers, stares coldly off into the distance; presenting a strong, fierce, exotic aura around the cigars that bare his image.
