Cigar Store Indians -though an advertising device at the time of their creation, they are now a much sought after piece of Americana.  From a heritage point of view, they would certainly count as works of art today.  So are the few surviving figure heads of the old time clippers (most of which depicted bare breasted females, and could be concieved of as erotic, if not pornographic.  Back then, though I doubt that anyone conceived of a difference between the two, and simply classified them both as 'Lewd').
