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.
