Inuit Woman with Child

  • Photograph is of an Inuit woman in [typical] traditional dress, with a child in a sack over her shoulder. Shown in 3/4 length portrait style. The woman's hood is thrust forward to show that her clothing is fur-lined. She has a 'V' of fringe on her front, pointing toward her face. Very little is seen of the child, however what can been seen suggests that he is not dressed for the outdoors as the woman is.
  • All background has been eliminated to further emphasize the subject matter.

Inuit Male Head

Photograph shows the head of a man; short hair, beard, wide nose. Looks directly at the viewer. Dressed in a fur lined shirt with a hood, with fur visible at the neck. One shoulder is further forward than the other. All background has been eliminated. Chesterfield is dealing only with the Inuit he is photographing.

Inuit Couple

Photograph shows a male and female, full length, seated on furs against a white backdrop. Both have their hoods up and are wearing fur mittens and rough fur lined boots. Both look toward the viewer. The woman's hood is much more extravagant then the man's, and it draped over her left shoulder.
