As part of Avrom Isaacs introduction to the 1981 Annual Print Collection catalogue, he states that "In his [Pudlo's] prints we find imagery from the South: helicopters and aeroplanes. Strangely enough, however, these southern images have been converted into northern images. Having been captured and tamed, they are now genuine creatures of the North" [1]. It is a fitting way to summarize Pudlo's predilection for illustrating southern technology alongside that of the north. In Boat and Aeroplane, the plane coming in for a landing and the boat with its sail full are not incongruous against each other. There is even a sense that they are headed to the same place, passengers and cargo in tow.
