Lake Superior, Ontario Canadian Pacific [unknown]

Description

A serigraph depicting Lake Superior from the hills along the shore, in original frame with plaque reading Lake Superior, Ontario, Canadian Pacific. The original design was likely by Alfred Joseph Casson, part of the Group of Seven. The Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned a series of serigraphs for display which were produced in small runs. These images were designed to showcase the emerging Canadian national aesthetic and promote the opportunities for tourism and travel within the country.
