Lumiuk and the Whales2871/8

Stone-cut print on thin hand-made paper, mounted on cardboard. At the top of the image, there is a rugged black line which forms the land upon which two beings are standing. One of the beings is a hunter but the being on the left side is a more enigmatic figure because it has a misshapen stomach and body. This being is naked, however, and has a male sex organ so we can surmise that it is male. The two beings are tethered together with lines attached to the harpoon that the hunter upraises in his left hand. In his other hand, the hunter holds a shield. On the far right edge of the land, there is a small shelter, supported by three wood poles. Below the land there are ten whales. The whales are a variety of different shapes suggesting different species. All of the whales swim towards the right side of the paper. There are three or four stamps in the upper right corner; two of which are red and two of which are black. "Lumiuk and the Whales stone cut # 12/50 Cape Dorset N.W.T. 1961 Kiakshuk" is written along the bottom edge of the paper in pencil.
