description: Over 100 Colour and B/W IllustrationsHarold Pfeiffer dedicated his life to creating a record in bronze of the people of the north. The Ottawa artist sculpted more than 100 portraits of arctic native people from Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Siberia, along with many distinguished native subjects from northern Alberta and a vigorous sampling of trappers and bush pilots. The work is classic portraiture of real people; Pfeiffer sought out the elders, with the marks of hard experience and character in their faces, and his achievement is a priceless gift to posterity.
