Collection search - Journey from Halifax to St. John's - A Happy New Year

Sotheby's inventory no. P2840.

The secondary support to which the image is adhered is foxed and has a large water stain on the right side. The image itself is somewhat browned.

Inscribed in the image, across b: How we journeyed from Truro to Moncton, and were initiated into the pleasure of a snowstorn in New Brunswick, and enjoyed forty-eight hours' transit in a sleigh of the period / Col. E. Wetherall, Chief of the Staff Lieut.-Col. Crealock, Particular Service. If this was a specimen, I should add "particularly disagreeable". Major Pearson, Bridge-Major Major Garrett, 16th Foot Captain Ellison / Captain Ellison is good-natured enough to give Major Pearson a Back to lean against - a very questionable advantage to the latter.
