Note:

Phillips writes, "Karlukwees provided many subjects for painting. In fact, never have I seen a more delectable sketching ground. We had penetrated an arm of the sea, the open sea seemed far away, for it flowed only in narrow channels, between an immense number of islands. I regretted leaving the coast and I long to return."

This colour woodcut was awarded a gold medal by the Society of Arts and Crafts, Boston in 1929.
