Framed "Thunder Bird" Print By Chief Henry Speck, 192/199 Proof Edition (1908-1971)

Henry Speck was a First Nations artist who was among the first to produce and sell prints of his work. He was born in 1908 on Turnour Island in British Columbia, Canada, and made chief of his tribe after his father passed away. Speck represented the Kwakwaka’wakw (Kwakiutl) people. Chief Speck was largely self-taught and worked in watercolors and gouache when he painted. He was also an avid carver. His first solo exhibition was in 1964. He died in 1971.
The print is from a run produced in the 1990's by Henry Speck's widow, Lily Speck. Each print is marked with her initials, "LS", next to Henry's signature.
