Lot Report

Literature:

George Musk, Canadian Pacific: Story of the Famous Shipping Line, University of Michigan, 1981, pages 117-118.

Note:

A seven minute drive from the artist’s home, the white and red Lynch House is centrally featured in this early 1960s work by Maud Lewis, while the SS Princess Helene enters below the horizon, crossing through the Digby Gut and into the Annapolis Basin. The SS Princess Helene was a passenger and freight ferry operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, built for transport within the Bay of Fundy area, connecting St. John, New Brunswick and Digby, Nova Scotia. The steamer was first launched on May 12th, 1930 and served the region for over thirty years, replaced in 1963 by the MV Princess of Acadia.

We extend our thanks to Maud Lewis historian, Alan Deacon, for providing detailed information regarding the subject matter and approximate date of this work of art.
