Another James Churchward Painting Appears...

Another miniature painting by James Churchward has been discovered. Dated 1904 and entitled, "Lake Katahdin Lake - Aroostook, Co. Maine."

As the previous painting, it is small, measuring only 4 1/2 by 2 3/8 inches inside a 6 1/2 by 4 5/8 inch frame.

The caption reads:


Lake Katahdin Lake - Aroostock, Co. Maine.
One of the prettiest and best little trout lakes in Maine - also the best of hunting in the fall - Moose, Dear, Bear Foxes, Lynx, Panthers, and small game.

New York
Dec. 1904


Many of James' books are illustrated by his hand. This painting is another example of his handiwork and background that permitted him to understand and communicate what he had learned about the ancient civilization that he called Mu.

A quick Google search provides another copyrighted painting from almost the same vantage point.

Have a great day
