Posted to Canada : The Watercolours of George Russell Dartnell, 1835-1844
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the immense body of work created by the Irish-born George Dartnell (1799-1878), a British army surgeon stationed in Canada from 1835 to 1844. Dartnell, an accomplished and popular surgeon, sketched more than 150 scenes of a pristine Canada of dense forests, clear lakes and rough-edged beauty during his nine-year posting – all of which form an important part of Canada’s pre-photographic visual history. In this, the first book on Dartnell, his vibrant depictions of rural Quebec, Montreal, and Quebec City, as well as parts of Ontario, are displayed.
