| Summary: | A man, woman and two children, identified as an Eskimo/Inuit family, pose outside. Inscribed on reverse: "Native Family". Lifestyle Livelihood Title supplied by cataloger. Faded image on mount, 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. Taken by Captain George Comer (1858-1937), a sealer and whaling captain from East Haddam. He went to sea while still in his teens and was later master of vessels from both New London and New Bedford. Comer participated in voyages involved in polar expeditions and was noted for his studies of Arctic peoples and their environment. |
