In May 2008, Baker Lake Printmakers Cooperative released a collection of ten prints to a select number of galleries. The prints were each pulled in a small edition of 20 and featured the new stamp of the new Baker Lake Printmakers Cooperative; a left-facing, printed in an earthy orange colour.

In her Fall 2008 review of the print collection in Inuit Art Quarterly, Susan Gustavison commented on the present work, "William Noah’s Mother and Daughter has proven especially popular with collectors. A strong image, focusing on two faces depicted with considerable foreshortening, the tight focus gives it a slightly Japanese quality, which is further enhanced by the subtleties of the stencil printing" (p. 37).References: Mother and Daughter was reproduced in Susan Gustavison, "Baker Lake Prints 2008 Collection Reviewed", Inuit Art Quarterly, Fall 2008, Vol. 23, No. 3, Fall, 2008, p. 36 and, more recently, in "10 Works of Motherly Love," IAQ Online, inuitartfoundation.org, 9 May 2020, https://www.inuitartfoundation.org/iaq-online/10-works-of-mother-love.
