A signed Fritz Williams print, numbered 104/300 and carrying a 1980 copyright, depicts an Indigenous mother carrying a child in the large hood of her parka or amauti. Loose gray washes and dark facial detail contrast with the faint buildings in the background, keeping the mother and child central to the scene. Theodore J. Heller Jr.'s signed print, numbered 36/100, places an infant in a decorated cradleboard against broad black-and-white stripes, with an eagle spreading its wings overhead. Feathers and bead-like details give the narrow central form an intricate surface. The image bears an '81 date, and a newspaper clipping about the Alaska artist (1950-1989) is attached to the reverse. Louise Brown's colorful child portrait shows a smiling young girl leaning against a woven basket, with dark patterned clothing and a bright blue background. A personal reverse inscription identifies the subject as "Little Gabrielle Chippawa from Yankton, South Dakota". All three are matted and framed. The largest measures approximately 27" x 21" overall.
