Footnote
Note: Bears a label verso which states: 'This painting was part of a large consignment of pictures despatched by Cooling Galleries Ltd, London to their galleries in Toronto. It was shipped on the S.S. Empire Sailor, early in January 1941. On three successive occasions the ship was torpedoed, bombed and shelled and returned under her own steam for repairs. She eventually arrived in June. All the pictures were delivered in perfect condition.'
