Our first night in this locality of foreign jargon
I know that I have Emily Carr fans among my readers.
Can any of you connect this painting of hers, “Our First Night in This Locality of Foreign Jargon”, with a particular event in her life?
With a passage in a book?
Hyas mahsie!


My guess is that it’s an illustration from her book Sister and I, her account of a trip across Canada and on to London with her sister. However I don’t deserve special credit for this, since I only just picked up a copy of an anthology of her books. I hadn’t known she wrote more than one or two. Makes me an even bigger fan.
