Image reproduced in Helga Goetz, The Inuit Print, international travelling exhibition, (Ottawa: National Museums of Canada and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, 1977), pl. 130, p. 220. The print, along with the original drawing is also reproduced in Bernadette Driscoll, Baker Lake Prints & Print-Drawings 1970-76, (Winnipeg: Winnipeg Art Gallery, 1983), p. 21.
Goetz writes, "The subject here could have biblical origins, or it may derive from Inuit legend Knud Rasmussen reports 'an old, old story' of the flood (1931: 209). The stonecut print reproduces the vibrant colour of Annatuusi's exuberant drawing."
