SOLD Cigar Store Figures by Pendergast & Ware ~ 1953
Pendergast, A.W. & W. Porter Ware.
Cigar Store Figures in American Folk Art.
[Chicago]: Lightner Publishing Corporation, 1953, Cloth As New xvi + 76 p. 67 ill. of Native American & other carved statuary. "Antiquarian John L. Morrison, cited by Pendergast in his 1953 book Cigar Store Figures, states that the first appearance of a cigar store Indian in America was in 1770 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. By the latter half of the 19th Century the cigar store Indian was as much a symbol of the tobacco trade as was the barber pole to barber shops. Pendergast owned at least 200 figures during his lifetime."
Used, NM, retailing at several other sites on the net for $45 ~ this is an extra copy from my own library (I have a small collection of mostly countertop Indian antiques) ~
