===In photography=== The dunes and horses of Sable Island have drawn many photographers. Among the first was [[Arthur Williams McCurdy]] who photographed the island, its horses and shipwrecks in 1898 for ''[[National Geographic]]'' during a visit with [[Alexander Graham Bell]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=8281 |title=McCurdy, Arthur Williams |work=Canadian Dictionary of Biography |access-date=January 2, 2014}}</ref> A further ''National Geographic'' visit in the summer of 1964 yielded an article entitled ''Sable Island; Graveyard of the Atlantic''. In more recent times, [[Roberto Dutesco]], a fashion photographer, began taking photos of Sable horses in 1994 and features this work in a permanent photo exhibition entitled "Wild Horses of Sable Island" at his gallery in New York. Nova Scotian photographer Paul Illsley's photographs of Sable Island horses inspired both a Canadian stamp and coin in 2005.
