Literary
Local Author Thomas Schultze shares insights and images from his recently published book Frances Anne Hopkins: Images From Canada. It is a long needed work that highlights and gives due to a very talented but largely ignored female artist of the 19th century. Hopkins’ husband was an official of the Hudson’s Bay Company and she accompanied him on some of his inspection tours during the last days of the fur trade, in the 1860s. Travelling by canoe from Montreal to Lake Superior, Frances Anne Hopkins recorded her impressions in sketches, watercolours and oils.
