Sketches by Elizabeth P. Simcoe, wife of Upper Canada's first Lieutenant Governor, of Sorel, Quebec, Fort Niagara from Navy Hall, Upper Canada, Montmorency Falls, Quebec, and York harbour, Upper Canada, 1792-1796.
From the Canadian Heritage Gallery website, really interesting.
We were at Ward's Island today, a lovely overdose of fresh air. And there we decided not to bother with the stupid Ontario Parks this year, with their reservations payed in full four months ahead. And too many regulations for Max, and too much radio noise for Michele. So instead it's going to be camping in the wild, no clarinets, no sketchbooks. Martin is a real ranger, we should be all right in the wilderness. Now we have to find somebody who is willing to rent or borrow or sell us a piece of Canada this summer.
