Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center

Ernest Young brought artifacts from Labrador back to Brunswick, including the harpoons and sealskin clothing displayed in this cabinet card.

Young’s sealskin coat is now in the collection of the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum.

Young posed in his gear at the A.O. Reed Studio in Brunswick, and had a series of these cards produced.

The cards could be distributed to his friends and acquaintances, enabling Young to share the experience that had meant so much to him.
