C.W. Jefferys fonds
CA ON00009 C 332 · Fonds · 1920-1930

Fonds consists of two drawings by C.W. Jefferys depicting historical reconstructions of significant events in Canadian history. The works entitled "Confederation Leaders" and "Opening the First Legislature in Upper Canada" were most likely done for the Ontario Department of Education's museum program. Both drawings appear to be copies after the murals of the same name by Frederick S. Challener in the Ontario Government Collection. "Confederation Leaders" is also similar to the Robert Harris painting "Fathers of Confederation" which was lost in the Parliament Buildings fire in Ottawa , in 1916.
