History abounds in great laud- marks; that o! Canada is mfex- ‘ception. A survey of the nation's past is inevitably guided by cer- Itiain dominant events, persuasi- .lties, and influences which both Jndlcale the main channels of the lstoa-y and serve as a guide to the [numerous eddies and cross-cur- rents which ebb and flow behind the scenes. Historians have left a vsat literature giving us an inter- pretation of the facts and their |baclsgroundg and who is not flun- lliar with the ringing sentiments I01 political figures on the events of past and present? But we must consider also the artists’ concept-

Mr. Harris and requested him to tmderteke a commission t9 palm a picturewt the Confederation leaders. The scene of the picture was to be laid at the Ghariottetotvm Conference o! 1864. Harris argeed to the offer and immediately be- gan the work which was to take him almost a year to complete. and which was to bring him ne- tional recognition. '

This important assignment mark- ed the prominent place which Robert Harris had attained in Canadian art circles by the early 1881's. Prince Edward Island knew him well. He had come to Char- lottetown in 1856 from the Vale of Conway. Wales. where he had been born on September 18. 1840. The father, William Gitchlow Harris was a native of Anglesey. Wales and his mother Sarah Stret- ch Harris came from Lance- shire. Thus Robert Harris. though usually regarded as a Prince Ed- ward Islander, was not a. native son. But his early years on the 1nd and his love for it led him h regard it. as “home? while his life and the success which attend- ed it have always assured him of a place among that Provinces contributions to Canadian achieve- ment.

Art was a. development of his youth. In his student days and later when Provincial Land Sur- veyor. he invariably carried with him a. notebook and pencil and odd moments found him sketching a local scene or personality that

Largely through this painting has the name o! Robert Harris been handed down to the pr t gen- eration. But like many en who are best known for a particular work, l-larria’ worth involves other contributions which were acclaim- ed by his contemporaries, and which deserve the recognition of posterity. His genius as an artist is revealed in many csnvasses. We Wiild. thercf-Cfe. do well to review the contribution of Robert Harris to Canadian gulturc.

SUMMARY

Eastern cattle prices declined around 26c per cwt.. while ad- vances of 25c to 75c were record- ed on western markets during the past week. Winnipeg led the way with Increases up to 75c. and oth- er western sales were steady to 50c hlglaer. Bad road conditions interfered considerably with west- ern deliveries.

' Eastern Cattle Marketa Buyers succeeded in slicing 35c of‘! the price of kllldng cattle at Toronto on a generally slow trade. Weighty steers sold up to 814.50 and butcher steers from III to $18.50 and 814. Wholesale butchers took a large percentage of the supply. ‘The few good steers offered at Montreal sold at 814.50 on a market that was steady to 26c lower in spots. Good cows were priced at 810 to $11.25. Medium to good steers

and heifers were quoted in the Maritimes at 811.75 to 812.25.

encouraged by family Ind friends. and rewarded by much public in- terest in his work. led him to the serlotu study of art Wlllln he was yet in his early teens. This step gave him, in his c-wn words. “a sense of new possession and new discovery.”

Early Career

Harris’ early tnievenifui years lad revealed a talent and fired an ambition. 1887 "marked the turning point and introduced the long period of training necessary to develop the artist. In May of that year he set out for‘ England to visit British art centres and to look for wcrk. He spent some three months in the British Isles sigh‘.- seeing andlnvestigating the tree- sures of cathedrals, art galleries. and museutms.

Long hours of concentrated study of the works of old masters tool: most of hLs time. "I think" he wrote

"I could give you a fair descript- ion or every picture in the National Gallery." But no came his way. md ha sailed (o home determined at the first opportunity. to return to liaglaadﬂfor I am bound If I possibly can not to “attic any- where but here. or at least where the people are civilised with regard to art."

This was, 1801. Confederation year. and Oanada had yet to build a political, economic. and cultural nationality. Art, like many other thing. was not yet developed in the new Dominion; talented paint- era were needed to promote it. This fact was to give Harris to Cen- adianrather than to British cult- ure

If one could take the wings of the morning or find any means of locomotion or so airy‘ and ideal- istic a character I hope that many of us would be found frequent visitors in such abodes of art.

Where the pictures of great masters are gathered to- gather we have the most precious record of their thoughts and we do not need to team a new language to understand them.

Montreal. some o! his best known

work of the 1880's was done yo. members of govemment, judicial. and business circles, and l; w“ not long before he was regarded as one of the best portrait artist; d the day. Not only wu he an accomplished painter, but h; at“
