As described: The symbols of British Columbia, its provincial flower, the Pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttalli) and its animal, the Spirit Bear (also known as the Kermode bear, a white morph of the American Black Bear, Ursus americanus kermodei) cover the hand-carved map of BC in this linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, green and gold, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.
