[Canada; Inuit people]. Drawings by Enooesweetok of the Sikosilingmint Tribe of Eskimo, Fox Land, Baffin Island [cover-title], 1st edition, Toronto: Robert J. Flaherty, 1915, one text leaf ('These drawings were made at Amadjuak Bay, Fox Land, the Winter Quarters of Sir William Mackenzie's Expedition to Baffin Land and Hudson's Bay, 1913-14'; imprint below), 21 photogravure plates from original drawings by Inuit artist Enooesweetok (Nungusuituq), all with tissue-guards (tissue-guard for plate 7 askew), string-bound through 3 grommets in original black roan covers with title gilt to front, rubbed, loss to spine, string frayed, oblong 8vo (16 x 23 cm) (Qty: 1) See Zawadski & Poortenaar, 'Indelible Ink: The Enduring Images of Nungusuituq', Inuit Art Quarterly, 15 September 2019. In 1910 Robert J. Flaherty was engaged by Sir William Mackenzie president of the Canadian Northern Railway, to undertake a survey of the east coast of Hudson Bay. Nungusuituq (1890-1950) served as Flaherty's guide; the expedition's best remembered contribution to posterity is Flaherty's film Nanook of the North (1922). Very rare. Four institutional copies are known: WorldCat cites copies in the British Library and Yale; Zawasdki & Poortenaar's article mentions two others, in the Government of Nunavut Fine Art Collection (currently on loan to the Winnipeg Art Gallery) and the Royal Ontario Museum. A facsimile edition was published in 2001.
