General note:

According to a 24 September 1960 article in the Ottawa Journal, Art Price was influenced by his travels among the Haida in British Columbia to produce the sculpture that was basis for this rubbing. The article includes a photograph of Mr. Price with "a recent aluminum casting entitled Thunderbird and Whale" and explains that the "work emphasized the omnipotence of the bird, capable of snatching from the sea its largest inhabitant, the Whale." See "Versatile Art Price Ranks High Among Today's Top North American Artists," The Ottawa Journal, September 24, 1960, p. 31.
