August Holland vintage tiki prints
Artist August Holland is famous for his oils depicting maritime art, but as a young man he painted a variety of subjects for art print companies for mass production.
The most popular of his prints was titled “The Pearl of Wisdom” printed by Goes Lithographing. It featured a Mayan god holding a bowl of light. It appeared in furniture stores across the country and the S&H and Gold Bond stamp catalogs which were popular at the time.
A website dedicated to Holland and his work has more information about this and his other tiki print "Drums of the Night."
