| Commentary: | “In this tent [see #199], I also made sketches of the two little boys. One of them when I had finished, took the yellow piece of chalk that I had given him as a reward…And produced on a strip of birch bark, a caribou with no horns.” (trip diary) No size is recorded in day books. However, the size listed in The Edge of the Wilderness is 8″ x 8″. The Kennedy Quarterly (June 1968), lists the size as 5.75″ x 4″, which is assumed to be the image size. See related photograph by Schoonover of Indian boys in Canada. (#200p) |
