Description

Painted by Minnesota Duck Stamp artist Les Kouba. One of the original 4 scenes he painted for the Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company in the early 1950s to promote their flagship Beer. The scene features Minnesota's Past and Present separated by a body of water, in this instance a north woods lake. At left is a Native American Indian spearfishing in a birch bark canoe, his tipis behind him. At right are a pair of Fishermen in a modern (for the mid 1950s) fishing boat, their cabin in the distance.
