According to Burne-Jones, “In 1918-19 Kent and his son spent the better part of a year on Fox Island, Alaska, located twelve miles out from Seward in Resurrection Bay. The artist financed the trip by the ingenious means of selling shares of stock in himself as Rockwell Kent Incorporated.” This Alaska voyage supplied Kent with wilderness subject matter, such as the current work, for many years.
