An Arctic Whaling Sketchbook by William Gilkerson

Published in 1983, this portfolio features the pencil drawings of William Gilkerson (1936–2015), an American-Canadian writer, editor and artist. Notable for their rawness and immediacy, they served as studies for the ink and wash watercolour drawings in Gilkerson's 1983 book, American Whalers in the Wastern Arctic. This digitised volume is courtesy of the New Bedford Whaling Museum. (34 MiB, PDF, 58 pages)
