An Inuit man with a harpoon, inflated seal skin bladder and his Kyack
Jun 1854Jul 1854Albumen print | 15.7 x 20.1 cm (image) | RCIN 2510473
Photograph of a male Inuit standing and carrying a Kyack in his right hand. In his left hand, he holds a paddle. On the back of the Kyack is a seal skin bladder.
The photograph gives the impression that the Kyack is being held aloft by the male subject, however, the boulder that the back of the Kyack is supported on and that can be seen on the original collodion negative, has been masked out.
