Grizzly Bear Engraving, by Durbin Van Vleck, before 1856, after Charles Christian Nahl |
||||||||||
| The bear's open mouth and deliberate stride lend it an air of motion and latent strength, characteristic of 19th-century naturalist illustration. The design of the label used for Anchor California Lager is based on this work, paying homage to both the artwork's heritage and its regional symbolism. |
