Description	Full-length studio portrait of an Inuit family. The adults are identified as (left) Annie Kimilu, (right) Chimoakjo (John Bull); at center is their daughter Kudlarjuk (Buckshot). Printed on reverse of photograph: "GILES BISHOP/ Photographer/ 22 STATE STREET/ NEW LONDON, CONN/ Negatives Preserved"; handwritten in blue ink: "Three Eskimos brought/ to New London by/ Capt [Buddington crossed out] Spicer/ whaling captain".
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Albumen print mounted on white board with gold edges. John O. Spicer was master of several New London-based whaling vessels, including the S. B. Howes, Nile, and Era. Several of his voyages were to the Arctic, and he was known as a friend of the Eskimos. He was knocked overboard by a whale fluke on his second Nile voyage and almost drowned. Chimoakjo worked for American whalers, including Captain Spicer, on a number of occasions. He and his family were brought to Groton/New London in 1881 in order that Chimoakjo might testify in a Boston court. He successfully supported Spicer's claim to whale oil and bone that had been appropriated by New Bedford whalers. The family returned to the Arctic after the 1882 trial. On reverse of card: "PHOTOGRAPHED BY/ Giles Bishop,/ 22 State Street,' NEW LONDON,/ Conn."
