Paper was slightly dwascoloured, u.c. 2 pinholes, left edge was ragged from being torn instead of cut. The torn edge matches the torn edge of 1974-50-4. The watermark on 1974-50-5 can also be matched to that on 1974-50-4. The address that appears on the verso was Sir Andrew MacPhail's residence., See artist file 705-659., The artist was born in Sorel, Quebec and studied art in Canada going to Paris to study in 1889. He returned to Montreal in 1894 and taught drawing. "He spent much of his time in the company of poets, writers and artists and was a founding member of L'École Littéraire de Montréal in 1895. His poems were published posthumously in 1919..." (A Dictionary of Canadaian Artists, Colin Macdonald, Vol. 2, c. 1968).
