A terrifying beast from Indigenous Washoe folklore, the mysterious Ong of Lake Tahoe National Forest was described as follows in “Sunset Magazine” in 1905: “Poor mortals who had drowned in these waters (Lake Tahoe), their bodies were carried to the Ong’s nest and no morsel ever escaped him. Sometimes he would fly about the shores in quest of some child or woman or hunter, yet he was a great coward and was never known to attack anyone in camp, or when two or more were together. No arrow could pierce his feathers, nor could the strongest spear do more than glance from the scales on his face and legs, yet his coward’s heart made him afraid, for his toes had no claws, and his mouth no beak.” Inspired by these old legends and myths (some of which date back to the dawn of civilization), Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered a vintage-styled poster of the mysterious Ong legend, an original illustration and retro design crafted in a fashion that’s reminiscent of the golden age of poster art, vintage art, Art Deco, and classic travel illustrations. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard, including with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, mini-canvases, and metal signs.
