I don't know where the original is now. Did a Google search but couldn't find it. The painting was one of 40 done for the now defunct insurance company, Confederation Life, by Woods, a prolific commercial artist. A fire gutted the Confereration Life building in Toronto in the 1970s. Don't know if the paintings were there or, if they were there, were saved or were destroyed.
But, apparently, there is a print at Cambridge University <http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0115%2FRCMS%20344> Prints also at the Royal Alberta Museum <http://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/gallery/retro/retro1969.htm> While searching, came across this <http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do?id=10182> which used to run as a "public education service" on Canadian TV. -- Richard Langley Quoting Poul-Henning Kamp <[email protected]>: > In message <[email protected]>, "Richard B.
