"Cater Andrews kept a dream that one day he would see published a definitive work that would tell the world the real story of the seals and the sealers. To this end he laboured incessantly, taking every spare minute from his official duties at Memorial University that his health and strength would allow to collect and compile the voluminous materials upon which his books would be based. Regrettably his health failed, but his collection was passed to the University. As it was catalogued it became apparent that it contained a remarkable aggregation of photos depicting virtually every phase and aspect of the seal fishery. It was determined that this fascinating pictorial record must by published. This volume is the result." - Foreword. Unmarked with average wear. Binding intact.
