Provenance:

D.B. Hanna, Toronto
Private Collection, Toronto

Note:

In 1911, C.W. Jefferys designed a mural decoration for the Rosedale home of David Blythe Hanna, depicting Sir Walter Scott's poem, Lady of the Lake. Mr. Hanna's home was located at 37 Cluny Avenue, where he lived with his wife and two daughters, Mary and Jean.

In the Department of Education, Ontario's 1914 pamphlet regarding Reproductions of Works of Arts, an image of the mural decoration by C.W. Jefferys is reproduced, illustrating Lady of the Lake within the residence of D.B. Hanna (please see ancillary images).

Mr. Hanna was appointed by Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann as superintendent of their piece of railway, the Lake Manitoba Railway & Canal Company. For two decades Hanna rose in the ranks of the railway business, as the partnership of Mackenzie & Mann and the Canadian Northern Railway flourished. The stories of Mr. Hanna's time spent in the railway business, recounting the events of the early 1880s with the Grand Trunk were collected into a 1924 book by Arthur Hawkes, Trains of Recollection.
