- Scope and Content
- Four black and white photographs used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published May 28, 1963 with captions:
- "Along Kettle Creek - The late W. St. Thomas Smith was considered to have been St. Thomas' foremost artist. He painted many pictures, among them the C.N.R. Wabash Station, the early Port Stanley harbor, the boat house at Port Stanley, a sketch about 1890 and one entitled Along Kettle Creek. The latter painting is shown and is part of an exhibition to be displayed at the Elgin County Museum until June 15." (31a)
- "Gravel Road Toll-Gate - Although Mrs. St. Thomas Smith, wife of the well-known local artist, was primarily a scuptress, she painted a number of pictures that are note-worthy. One of these, above, is of the old toll-gate on the Gravel Road, and was made in 1887. The structure stood on the north east corner of the property now occupied by the restaurant on No. 4 Highway at Talbotville." (31b)
- "Highly-Regarded - F. M. Bell-Smith was in the 1880's an art teacher at Alma College and worked later in Toronto where his paintings were highly regarded. The above picture shows three art students at Alma College and is part of an exhibition that will be on display at the Elgin Pioneer Museum until June 15." (31c)
- "Early Liberal Rally - The painting above is of a Liberal Rally in St. Thomas, and was painted in 1893 by Ross Osgood, early artist of this community. The picture shows Sir Wilfred Laurier making a speech and behind him on the platform are Liberal notables of St. Thomas including the late Senator Dr. John H. Wilson, J. B. Davidson, Q.C.; Donald McNish, Squire Hunt and John Thompson. The key to this picture, which is the property of the Sutherland Press, has been lost, and anyone able to provide one is asked to contact officials at the Elgin County Museum." (31d)
