On southwestern Baffin Island, in the Canadian Arctic Territory of Nunavut, the artists of Cape Dorset operate the oldest continually running print studios in Canada. This exquisite book records the details of the history of the Cape Dorset print-making studio, including perspectives from the artistic, economic, and social developments that accompanied the studio's rise to international renown. Essays from dozens of people associated with the studio, including artist Kenojuak Ashevak, accompany over two hundred stonecuts, linocuts, engraving lithographs, etchings, original works on paper, and photographs reproduced in this hardcover book.  Subject matter ranges from traditional Inuit images and history to the Artic wildlife that is such an integral part of Inuit culture to modern scenes of Inuit life. Edited by Leslie Boyd Rayan, this book contains 304 pages, including an index, synopsis of each contributing author, and list of artists and plates featured throughout the book.
