This authentic 1902 print advertisement features the famous curio business of E. Mehesy, Jr., located in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, California. Operating during the height of the turn-of-the-century 'Indian Basket Craze,' Mehesy was a master furrier and taxidermist who famously transitioned into dealing high-quality tribal arts, including Navajo rugs, Pueblo pottery, and California basket work. This ad captures a unique era of early California tourism and the staging of curio shops that brought indigenous art into Victorian and Edwardian homes.
Very uncommon. Nice for collector or designer.
