Historical Paddle Paintings - Frederick A. Verner

Found 3 more historical paintings documenting native paddle designs. Frederick A Verner (February 26, 1836 � May 16, 1928) was a prolific painter of Canadian landscape who also portrayed some native groups in his art. All three pieces below have some sort of painted decoration, either on the tip or the recurring chevron theme seen documented in earlier posts.
